Smoking is bad behavior in everyone's eyes. Long-term smoking will do great harm to people's lungs and body. Many people suffer from cancer because of smoking too much and die prematurely. However, the vast tobacco market can also be seen that there are still many consumers in this industry.

So is it illegal to sell fake cigarettes or to sell goods with counterfeit registered trademarks? This can't be simply defined, but should be discussed according to the specific situation.

? What is the illegal act of selling fake cigarettes? The first is the crime of illegal business operation. If a merchant does not have a business qualification certificate when selling fake cigarettes, it is illegal and will be punished according to the crime of illegal business. If a merchant has a business qualification certificate, he will not commit the crime of illegal business operation.

But we should also discuss the specific situation: when the goods sold not only use other people's brands but also have poor cigarette quality, it not only violates the crime of selling counterfeit registered trademarks, but also violates the crime of selling fake and inferior commodities; If you only use someone else's trademark but the quality is not a big problem, then you commit the crime of counterfeiting a registered trademark.
