(Jul 19, 2008) Smoke-shack walls lined with illegal cigarettes at Six Nations. Organized crime. Boats filled with cartons of contraband smokes zipping across the St. Lawrence River. The sale of black market cigarettes is out of control in Canada, costing taxpayers (or governments) $1.6 billion a year in lost tax revenue. There are strong connections between contraband tobacco and some First Nations territories, including Six Nations. But political sensitivity over native issues makes it difficult for law enforcement agencies to act.
