It is illegal for any citizen to sell tobacco without permission. So what does shredded tobacco refer to? Shredded tobacco refers to tobacco leaves, tobacco flakes and re-cured tobacco leaves as raw materials, and they are processed together into filaments, powders and granular items. According to my country's existing laws and regulations, cigarettes, recured tobacco leaves, cut tobacco, and cigars are all called tobacco products, and these products are exclusive products in the tobacco industry. Our country now implements unique monopoly management on the production, sales, import and export of monopoly products in the tobacco industry in accordance with our country's laws, and private sales are not allowed without state permission.

According to Article 19 of my country's existing "Tobacco Monopoly Law", tobacco monopoly products such as cigarettes, recured tobacco leaves, cut tobacco, and cigars must be submitted to the Industry and Commerce Bureau. For trademark registration, if the trademark has not been approved by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, you cannot produce and sell it privately.

The first is to produce and sell tobacco privately without obtaining an "Enterprise Tobacco Production License" that can produce tobacco in accordance with the law. Once it is verified and discovered by the relevant administrative department in charge of tobacco monopoly, the tobacco-producing enterprise will be ordered to stop production and business, and the enterprise will also be required to close. In addition, the illegal funds obtained by the enterprise from the production of tobacco will be confiscated in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of our country. In addition, the enterprise will also be fined. Generally, the amount of the fine is the amount of tobacco products illegally produced by the enterprise on the market. The tobacco products illegally produced by this company will eventually be destroyed in front of the public.

The second type is those who secretly produce cigarette paper, cigarette tows, filter rods, and other tobacco machinery without obtaining an "Enterprise Tobacco Production License" that can produce tobacco in accordance with the law. Once discovered, The administrative department in charge of the tobacco monopoly should order the tobacco production company to close down, confiscate the funds illegally obtained by the production company in accordance with our country's laws, and punish the production company with a payment equal to one to three times the amount of tobacco monopoly products it produces. fines worth between 10% and 10%, and all tobacco products illegally produced by this tobacco manufacturer shall be publicly destroyed in public.
