Renfrewshire is awash with fake cigarettes – and efforts are being ramped up to stub out the problem.

In the past 11 months, there have been 52 seizures of illegal tobacco and e-cigarettes, according to Renfrewshire Council’s Trading Standards department.

This includes 3,900g of tobacco, 5,120 cigarettes and 147 nicotine vapour products (NVPs).
