The low price is the main attraction, so these cigarettes are in great demand by the public. Sunday (12/10).
However, the circulation of illegal cigarettes violates Law Number 39 of 2007 concerning Excise.Article 29 of the Excise Law strictly prohibits the sale of cigarettes without paying excise duty as evidenced by excise stamps.
