Because cigarettes are tight this year, unlicensed households can't buy cigarettes from other customers at all.

Tobacco may be used to stabilize the cigarette market and prevent the excessive issuance of tobacco licenses. The requirements should be strictly checked, because Liu, a tobacco retailer, did not submit an application for suspension of business to the local tobacco bureau, and he still did not go to the tobacco bureau to go through the relevant procedures within the announcement period. The practice of the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau to withdraw the tobacco monopoly retail license can be said to be legal and effective. Citizens, legal persons or other organizations that have obtained a tobacco monopoly license need to suspend business, and shall apply to the issuing authority (i.e. the local tobacco bureau) for suspension of business within seven days before the suspension, and the maximum period of suspension shall not exceed one year. If the business suspension expires or needs to be resumed in advance, the holder shall apply to the issuing authority for resuming business and go through the relevant formalities.
