Our Mission
THE TOBACCO LAW ENFORCEMENT NETWORK
The illicit tobacco market in the United States is fueled by high taxes, complex regulations, and inadequate enforcement.
The Tobacco Law Enforcement Network strives to create a safer, healthier environment for everyone by bridging the gap between regulation and enforcement. We believe that a multi-faceted approach—involving education, advocacy, and collaboration with law enforcement—is the key to successfully addressing the illicit tobacco trade. By working together, we can help create a future where communities are safeguarded from the harms of illicit tobacco, legitimate businesses can thrive, and public health initiatives can be effectively realized.
