taxes on tobacco products, the sales did not suffer significant decline. Spain government has

the cigarette market. The Spanish authorities made strong efforts to control smuggled tobacco
within the country which has led to a decline in the illicit cigarettes. Also, the Spanish
authorities closed the largest illegal tobacco production plant in the year 2016. Consumers’
demand for illicit tobacco has witness a downtrend in the tobacco sales in Spain.
