Why do you need a tobacco license to sell cigarettes and not to sell alcohol? What is the reason?

Tobacco is controlled by the state, and the reasons for applying for tobacco monopoly retail license are composed of many aspects: First, making money to supplement finance.

As we all know, the profits contributed by tobacco companies can be said to be hundreds of millions of yuan a year, and these money will generally be turned over to finance, because it is a state-owned income. Finance will allocate funds according to different places, so the first reason for the formation of tobacco monopoly is to supplement finance.

At present, all tobacco is managed by the Tobacco Corporation, and subsidiaries will be distributed to the cities under the Corporation, which will naturally create considerable income for local finance. For example, there is a Changsha cigarette factory in Hunan and a tobacco production company in Guangzhou. These are all for local governments to generate fiscal revenue. At the same time, there is a detail that cigarettes from different provinces cannot be sold across regions without permission.

The second is to restrict tobacco sales.

I heard a business owner say that their wholesale and retail cigarettes are fixed every month, in order to limit sales. If you don't do this, it's easy to go wrong. It can be said that the whole market is very chaotic.

To achieve this effect, it is managed by this tobacco monopoly retail license. This can greatly limit its sales, but the root cause has not been solved.

Third, protect the local tobacco industry.

It is also said that every provincial capital city basically has tobacco production companies, which is to better protect local enterprises and prevent cross-regional sales. If this happens, it will bring great trouble to the whole tobacco company.

Monopoly has played such a role, and each place will have its own representative cigarettes. For example, Hunan is dominated by golden white sand, and Guangzhou is dominated by double happiness.

In this way, local enterprises have developed vigorously, and at the same time, it will not affect the tobacco industry in other provinces and cities.

Fourth, it is convenient to crack down on smuggling and counterfeiting.

There is no doubt that tobacco is harmful to human health, and the state is slowly controlling it by means of control. The reason why tobacco monopoly licenses are used is to facilitate the fight against smuggling and counterfeiting. Because there are too many fake cigarettes now, that is, many people take a fancy to this profit. If it is not controlled, it is easy to go wrong. It will not only affect the whole tobacco company, but also affect the financial income.

The above four points are the reasons for tobacco monopoly, which can be said to protect the tobacco industry, and the other is not to affect fiscal revenue.

Many people have a question, why don't you need a license for wine with the same reputation as cigarettes? In fact, this is easy to understand, because wine is produced by grain, and another is that it is not a controlled item, which has little impact on the whole industry and does not need unified centralized management.

At this time, you can see that there are many wines on the market, just because many companies are allowed to produce them. On the other hand, alcohol will not cause great health problems to people. As long as you drink less, the impact will definitely be smaller than that of cigarettes.

Therefore, in order to make this industry develop better, it is natural not to say that a license is needed, but there are also industry standards, which can only be sold if they meet the standards. At the same time, you need to apply for a food circulation license.

Cigarettes can only be sold in physical stores, and online sales are illegal. This is a question of many people. In today's era of comprehensive e-commerce shopping, there is one thing that can't be bought, and that is cigarettes. Why this happens is mainly due to the following reasons:

I. Licensing factors

As we said before, if you want to sell cigarettes successfully, you must have a tobacco monopoly retail license, but today's network can say that there is no such license at all. It is hard to say whether there will be such a certificate in the future, but at present, there is definitely no such certificate. If you find someone selling online, on the one hand, what he sells must be fake, on the other hand, he is likely to face high punishment. After all, cigarettes are a special commodity under control.

Therefore, when there is no electronic license, all online sales are illegal, and there are basically no cigarettes sold online.

Second, protect the peaceful and stable development of the whole industry and provide better income for finance.

If you sell cigarettes online, it can be said that management is very difficult. Not only will there be a lot of fake cigarettes, but it is more likely to affect the whole industry, and this influence may be very great, which will make the development of the whole industry very unhealthy. At the same time, it will also destroy the original ecological mechanism and make the whole fiscal revenue passive. This time is not the best for the tobacco industry or the financial sector.

Therefore, I find it difficult to sell cigarettes online. It can be said that it is impossible at this stage because there are many factors involved.

Finally:

As the saying goes, there is no Fiona Fang without rules. Every industry has its own standards and rules, just like selling cigarettes requires a tobacco license.

I also want to remind you that smoking is harmful to health. I hope you take care of yourself, smoke less and drink less. Even if you don't smoke, your country won't affect your financial income because you have less money. So please be a civilized person and be responsible for your health.
