"Cigarette smuggling: a wide scope phenomenon only there to serve the interests of big tobacco manuafacturers" uses industry officials' quotes and documents to describe how tobacco manufacturers are involved in the organisation of smuggling and how manufacturers use smuggling in two ways: on one hand, to flood markets with cheap cigarettes and defeat governements' efforts to reduce tobacco consumption by adopting one of the most efficient public health measures (ie: high taxation of tobacco products) and on the other hand, by using the false threat of increased contraband to scare politicians and prevent them from adopting strong fiscal policies. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) with a protocol on smuggling and the collaboration between international agencies is a means to counter and defeat the tobacco industry attemps at sabotaging efficient public health measures.
《香烟走私：一种只为大型烟草制造商利益服务的广泛现象》利用行业官员的言论和文件，描述了烟草制造商如何参与走私活动的组织，以及制造商如何以两种方式利用走私：一方面，用廉价香烟充斥市场，挫败政府通过采取最有效的公共卫生措施之一（即对烟草产品征收高额税）来减少烟草消费的努力；另一方面，利用走私增加的虚假威胁来吓唬政客，阻止他们采取强有力的财政政策。《烟草控制框架公约》及其关于走私的议定书以及国际机构之间的合作，是对抗和挫败烟草业破坏有效公共卫生措施企图的一种手段。
