SFU University Communications media release   19 November 2019
Globalization and Health published two studies by researchers from the Global Tobacco Control Research Programme at Simon Fraser University on the history of the cigarette trade via Paraguay from the 1960s to 2003, and the subsequent rise of Paraguay’s Tabacalera del Este (known as Tabesa) from the 1990s. In both papers, the illicit trade of tobacco products has figured centrally, thus undermining global tobacco control efforts.

• From transit hub to major supplier of illicit cigarettes to Argentina and Brazil: the changing role of domestic production and transnational tobacco companies in Paraguay between 1960 and 2003.
