Area of Science:

  • Tobacco Control
  • Public Health
  • Illicit Trade

Background:

  • Cheap Whites are prominent in illicit tobacco discussions.
  • Their market presence, brands, manufacturers, and production locations require examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics of Cheap White cigarettes.
  • To assess their compliance with legal requirements, including tax stamps and warning labels.
  • To analyze their market presence and pricing.

Main Methods:

  • Data synthesized from diverse sources: literature, industry reports, trademark registries, and government data.
  • Analysis included visual inspection of tax stamps and warning labels from the Tobacco Pack Surveillance System (TPackSS).
  • Pricing data was also sourced from TPackSS.

Main Results:

  • Identified 82 Cheap White brands and 53 manufacturers, with many production facilities in free zones.
  • Two-thirds of analyzed Cheap White brands lacked correct health warnings or tax stamps in purchasing countries.
  • While cheaper on average, the price difference between Cheap Whites and legal brands was often smaller than anecdotally reported.

Conclusions:

  • Many Cheap White brands fail to comply with legal regulations in their sales countries.
  • The presence of untaxed Cheap Whites compromises tobacco tax policies.
  • The availability of cheaper cigarettes, even if legally sold, is a significant public health issue.
