The National Coalition Against Contraband Tobacco is an organization dedicated to fighting the spread of illegal cigarettes in Canada.
Founded by the Canadian Convenience Stores Association (CCSA), the Coalition brings together a wide variety of people and businesses all dedicated to fighting this growing problem. Contraband cigarettes, which are being smuggled throughout Canada in record numbers, now represent one out of every three cigarettes purchased. Contraband smugglers are filling our communities with cheap, unregulated cigarettes that are being freely distributed among youth. It’s time for Canadians to take a stand and stop this proliferation.
Join us to help fight.
