Background • This project is designed to track the incidence of illicit trade in tobacco products in SA • Monthly waves of interviews and pack retrievals with respondents around the country. • Because all outlet types are representatively covered in a three month period of fieldwork, the total sample is a good, representative sample of cigarette purchases.
Definition of illicit Legal Compliant SA Stock – packs Counterfeit – packs Non-compliant (duty not paid, no H/W, etc) – packs – tar for all above 12mg Definitely illicit Illicit Suspect Suspect Priced – packs (local manufactured) Suspect Priced – packs (SADC manufactured) Suspect Priced – packs (EU manufactured) Below R8.50
Methodology • Representative coverage (time/ day/ area/ store type) • One wave per year we have 2 interviewers per oultet • Interviewer 1: cigarette purchase incidence • Interviewer 2: exit interviews & product swap • Interview structure: • Masked as Quality Control • Demographic and pricing questions • Product swap (incentive: R20/pack) • Collected product analysed by BATSA internal experts • Quality control: • 100% questionnaire check, Spot checks on outlets • Back checks per interviewer: Average 30%
Methodology: Sample breakdown *margin of error = 1.3%
Internal verification • Due to the serious nature of the research certain key checks and balances undertaken • Methodology Audited by BAT International Auditors against Global Protocol • Currently being audited by BATSA internal audit against independent research standards – SAMRA (South African Market Research Association) • Results then cross referenced against other BAT research
