ABSTRACT Globally, tobacco is responsible for the death of approximately 6 million individuals per year. In reaction, governments have enacted tobacco control policies that cope with the harmful effects of the drug. However, these policies have also created geographic price disparities and increased the effort needed to purchase legal tobacco products. The result was the creation of a new illicit tobacco market. While tobacco smuggling continues through conventional avenues, a new generation of traffickers have turned to a different source for the illicit distribution of tobacco – the internet, specifically the darkweb. The purpose of this paper is to describe the size and scope of illicit trafficking of tobacco on cryptomarkets, and the diverse types of tobacco-related products available on the cryptomarkets. Our analysis will provide guidance for policymakers, researchers, and all interested in the illicit trade of tobacco.

黑暗网上烟草贸易的规模和范围

摘要在全球，烟草每年造成大约600万人死亡。作为回应，政府已经制定了应对该药物有害影响的烟草控制政策。但是，这些政策也造成了地域价格差异，并增加了购买合法烟草产品所需的精力。结果是建立了一个新的非法烟草市场。尽管通过常规途径继续走私烟草，但新一代的贩运者已经转向非法分销烟草的另一种来源，即互联网，特别是黑网。本文的目的是描述在密码市场上非法贩运烟草的规模和范围，以及在密码市场上可获得的与烟草有关的产品的各种类型。
