More than $2 million worth of counterfeit cigarettes filled with rabbit droppings have been confiscated by customs officials in Spain.

The fake cigarettes were due to be sold on the black market as famous brands. 

Police and customs staff arrested 12 smugglers in an undercover operation to intercept the cigarettes as they landed on a boat from China. 

"They not only smell bad but the toxic chemicals they give off are pure poison," explained a customs official.
