Reflection results from lectures and theoretical debates that were developed in the course of this investigation. It focuses on making a characterization of the problem and of the spatial clipping in the border of Paraguay with Brazil, in the temporality between 1970 and 2016.

The research aimed at analyzing and describing the cross-border networks that support cigarette smuggling, along with the actors involved in this issue. Cigarettes are now Paraguay's most smuggled merchandise to Brazil, and entry to this illegal activity has been increasingly attractive to many young people and children who are involved in this illegal network.
