Is it illegal to buy alcohol and tobacco?
Legal analysis: it is not illegal to apply for a permit, and it is illegal without a license. Selling special goods online requires corresponding sales licenses. For example, selling cigarettes requires a tobacco monopoly retail license, and selling food requires relevant licenses. The sales of drugs and medical devices need exclusive licenses, but this has led to many procurement businesses stepping on minefields. The sales of contact lenses and lenses, which were popular online shopping before, belong to medical device products, which are in direct contact with the cornea and have great risks. They must be approved by the relevant departments before they can be sold.
