Tea cigarettes, which are popular now, can't be defined as tobacco products just by their names. They need to be identified to confirm whether the product contains cut tobacco. If there is, it belongs to tobacco products. If it is supervised by the state, it is illegal to sell it without the permission of the tobacco management department, and it will be punished. If the product is really just tea, it is not a tobacco product.
No matter whether tea cigarettes contain cut tobacco or not, as long as cigarette paper, filter sticks and other tobacco monopoly products are used in the packaging and production process, or tobacco production machinery is used, the relevant state departments will also cooperate with the public security departments to inspect the producers. Once the inspection is true, the relevant departments will punish the perpetrators according to the relevant laws and regulations.
