Successful Crackdown on Massive Illegal Heated Tobacco Case
Authorities in Jiangsu province worked with national agencies to bust an illegal operation producing heating, non-burning cigarettes.

Recently, under the coordination of the Ministry of Public Security and the State Bureau, the Jiangsu Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, in conjunction with the Jiangsu Public Security Department, deployed more than 190 law enforcement officers and organized 15 arrest teams to cities such as Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Nantong to carry out a concentrated crackdown operation, successfully breaking up a major illegal operation of selling non-combustible heated tobacco products.


It has been reported that a criminal group engaged in the illegal production of heated non-burning cigarettes has been thoroughly dismantled by authorities in Jiangsu province. In order to break the entire chain of production and distribution, a task force was established jointly by the provincial public security bureau and the local authorities, and the investigation lasted for a year and a half. To date, all the main suspects involved in the case have been apprehended, resulting in the shutdown of one production base with nearly 10,000 square meters of standardized factories. In addition, one production line for heated non-burning cigarettes, one production line for electronic vapor cigarettes, two assembly and packaging lines, 96 sets of production equipment, 1,470 pieces of heated non-burning cigarettes, as well as a large amount of fragrances, tobacco extractions, and cigarette filter rods were confiscated, with a total value of up to 800 million yuan.
