What is the meaning of "fake" in cigarettes?

"Smuggling" means cracking down on counterfeiting, manufacturing and selling counterfeit cigarettes, smuggling tobacco products and illegal sales of tobacco.

Because of the tobacco monopoly system, cigarette enterprises (such as Beijing Tobacco Company) are sprayed with codes after being sold to tobacco companies in one area, indicating the territory of Beijing, and these cigarettes can no longer be sold to other areas outside Beijing. In order to implement tobacco monopoly management, organize the production and management of tobacco monopoly products in a planned way, improve the quality of tobacco products, safeguard the interests of consumers and ensure the national fiscal revenue, the People's Republic of China (PRC) Tobacco Monopoly Law was enacted.
