Marlboro Lights Smokers, probably noticed that last year their favorite brand is not a good taste of cigarettes, as it should be. This could be because they were counterfeit.
The authorities of New Jersey announced yesterday that they were eliminating a ring that imported tens of thousands of boxes of cheap imitations from China.

Seven people from Philadelphia and four from South Jersey have been charged in the indictments, after two years of secret operations in Atlantic City and South Jersey, said John Hagerty, a representative of the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice.

Three New Jersey men infiltrated the organization and bought more than 32,000 boxes of reduced Marlboro Lights, 25,000 doses of ecstasy drug nightclub, and more than 125 pounds of potent marijuana. Counterfeit smoke flooded the market with the price of the real thing skyrocketed to $ 6 a pack in New Jersey, said Lt. Paul Kuras of the state police casino unit, which lead the investigation.

"If you want to make money, it's even easier than selling drugs," Kuras said. "You could say they are unlikely to forgery. We see several of them on the market today - just a huge amount of cigarettes." The ring sold them for about $ 5 to $ 8 board, said Kuras. Cigarette with American-grown tobacco usually run about $ 55 per carton.

"Those whom we have very outdated, so they are not very good taste," Kuras, smoked, talked. "But still, people were willing to buy them for $ 20 board.

Cigarettes were distributed throughout the Philadelphia region, "he said.

Tobacco may have originated in China, but marijuana from Canada, said Kuras.
