Smuggling is more than an economic threat; it represents a direct danger to human health. Counterfeit medicine can lead to fatal complications. Smuggled food products lack basic safety and quality standards. Cigarette smuggling may introduce products to consumers that do not meet the health regulations of the destination country, including some with ingredients not fit for human consumption.
International reports indicate that millions around the world face health problems annually because of smuggled products. Protecting public health starts with consumer awareness and rejecting any product of unknown origin.
