Fake cigarettes laced with deadly byproduct of nuclear explosions feared to be bound for Scotland
FAKE cigarettes laced with a deadly byproduct of nuclear explosions are feared to be bound for Scotland. Officials in Poland recently seized a batch of counterfeit fags found to contain Strontium 90, a radioactive isotope produced when atomic weapons explode. And a senior UK Customs detective said: “If that product is on the market, chances are it could end up here.” Britain is a prime target for tobacco smugglers partly because of our tax on cigarettes, which is among the highest in Europe.
