Counterfeit cigs are a big health hazard, but more so are fake cigarettes, which can contain pretty much anything.
Much like counterfeit bike parts from Asia, there are competitive businesses making quality products under someone else’s brand illegally, and there are fuckers bodging safety critical devices without reasonable care to prevent (unexpected) harm to the customer.
