00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.N. website.
00:30In China, it is not allowed to sell cigarettes.
00:32It's just that it's not allowed to display cigarettes or cigarette products for customers to see.
00:37In other words, you can sell, but you need to hide the cigarettes to sell.
00:43Or you put it in a closed shelf or cabinet and then you can sell it.
00:47Simply put, it's a matter of sight.
00:50The government of Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Xuezhou has already notified all businesses in advance.
00:55The ban will be implemented on the 1st of next month.
00:57Cigarette products can't be shown to the public.
01:01The chairman of the Maxin Coffee Tea Association, Huang Shouqun,
01:05thinks that this ban is like letting the merchants sell drugs.
01:08It's really amazing.
01:11He doesn't understand that selling cigarettes is a legal transaction.
01:14So why do you have to hide it and sell it secretly?
01:17He said that coffee shop owners have always held the concept of doing business with dignity.
01:23Implementing such a rule is not only unreasonable,
01:26but it may cause consumers to misunderstand and increase the risk of illegal transactions.
01:30It may even make some people sell cigarettes privately.
01:37The government should review this ban.
01:40The chairman of the Maxin Coffee Tea Association, Chen Jiaxiang,
01:44told China Daily that the government allows the production of cigarettes and the tax on cigarettes.
01:49On the other hand, it prohibits merchants from showing cigarettes to the public.
01:52He thinks this is very contradictory.
01:55Besides, there is a warning picture on the cigarette box.
01:59Why does he think there should be more of this?
02:01It will further cause trouble for the merchants.
02:03He said that old customers who are familiar with the store can buy cigarettes.
02:08But new customers may not be able to find it in the store.
02:11They may just leave and the business will not be successful.
02:14It is a trouble for the customers.
02:16There are also many coffee shops in Guandan, Bingcheng, Gedabalu
02:19and other stores in Guandan, Bingcheng, Gedabalu.
02:21When they were interviewed by the media,
02:23they were not very clear about this ban.
02:26What should they do next?
02:28They will not move first.
02:30The prices of cigarettes have always been provided by tobacco companies.
02:35Some businesses have heard that
02:37tobacco companies will help update the new closed cabinet.
02:41It's just that they haven't written anything yet.
02:43Before April comes,
02:45they will put these cigarettes away.
02:48They will only sell them when customers ask for them.
02:51The owner of a business in Bingcheng,
02:54when he was interviewed by the Chinese newspaper,
02:56he said that there were officials in the past
02:59who inspected and notified the merchants of this new regulation.
03:02Tobacco companies had agreed to help
03:05put a layer of black film on the glass cabinet of cigarettes.
03:09But there was no progress in this matter.
03:11If this regulation is too troublesome,
03:13he will consider not selling cigarettes.
03:15Another tea restaurant vendor, Mr. Dai,
03:19said that in recent years,
03:21the number of tobacco sellers has increased,
03:23which has led to a decline in the sales of cigarettes.
03:25Now, the amount sold every day is very small.
03:27It is no longer their main source of income.
03:30In order to avoid being fined,
03:31he has emptied the tobacco sales cabinet.
03:34The government prohibits businesses from publicly showing cigarettes.
03:37Selling cigarettes is not a one-sided response.
03:40Because they can understand the government's desire
03:42to reduce the number of people smoking.
03:44Malacca Tobacco Retailers Association and Merchants said
03:47that our neighboring countries have indeed implemented this policy for many years.
03:51But they think it is still difficult to solve the problem of smoking.
03:55Liang Jinghui, chairman of the Tobacco Association of Binzhou,
03:58said that the government stipulated that
03:59there must be a warning photo on the cigarette box
04:02to remind smokers to smoke.
04:05People who want to smoke will continue to smoke.
04:08So he thought that
04:09even if the tobacco store did not publicly show the influence of cigarettes,
04:11it was not a big deal.
04:12Because many smokers and customers still buy as usual.
