Why not ban the production of cigarettes, why not the state ban the production of cigarettes?

Tobacco companies belong to the state, and the state needs tobacco companies to contribute to its fiscal revenue, and if smoking is banned, who will be responsible for the reduction of fiscal revenue?

If production and sales are banned but not consumption, the most likely consequence will be the proliferation of smuggling and illegal production, and the public security and judicial system will be forced to resign.

The only way to get a country to pass a ban on smoking is to find ways to make society aware of the dangers of tobacco and to cut off tobacco companies from interfering with national health policy, and to ban all forms of tobacco advertising** and sponsorship (see the MPOWER series of policies for details). The World Health Organization urges Parties to take effective measures to ensure that tobacco packaging has clear, conspicuous health warnings and does not contain any misleading information, so as to create a smoke-free social environment and promote a sustained reduction in tobacco consumption through legal, administrative, health and market measures. Tobacco production was forced to decline.

If there is no market demand for a thing, who will produce it again?

Smoking is banned everywhere in the country, so why not ban the production of cigarettes? After reading it, I realized the good intentions behind it!

Legal analysis: the state does not prohibit the production of cigarettes. Cigarettes are a large part of China's financial revenue, and they have to rely on the taxes of tobacco companies from the first to the local government.

Tobacco is similar to the eldest son of the republic, and is now the first taxpayer, with tobacco tax revenues of more than 1 trillion yuan in 2016, higher than the entire defense spending, and its profits and taxes paid more than the combined profits of nine industries such as electricity, telecommunications, and coal. Tobacco tax is the largest taxpayer in China and has created tens of millions of jobs, and if tobacco is banned, it will inevitably deal a major blow to the economy, tobacco farmers and other employees.
