Behind every packet, a network far more complex than imagined<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

\ud83d\udcad Have you ever wondered who actually supplies the cigarettes<\/strong> sold at your favorite tobacconist’s<\/strong>?Every day, thousands of tobacconists<\/strong> in France offer the same products<\/strong>, at the same prices<\/strong>, under the same brands<\/strong>. But who orchestrates this well-oiled system?Behind the tobacconist<\/strong>‘s counter, in reality, lies a meticulous organization, closely supervised by theState<\/strong>, customs<\/strong>, and companies<\/strong> strictly authorized<\/strong> by regulations<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 In this article, we lift the veil on the tobacco<\/strong> circuit, from the producer to your tobacconist<\/strong>, via factories<\/strong>, authorized distributors<\/strong> and government departments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

Tobacco: a highly monitored business in France<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In France<\/strong>, the sale of<\/strong> tobacco<\/strong> is not a commercial activity<\/strong> like any other.It is a State monopoly<\/strong>, governed by a specific decree<\/strong>, the General Tax Code<\/strong> and the Customs Code<\/strong>.Each tobacconist’s shop<\/strong> operates under the direct supervision of the General Directorate of Customs and Indirect Rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It is therefore theState<\/strong>, via its customs administration<\/strong>, which authorizes<\/strong> the operation of tobacconists<\/strong> and controls<\/strong> cigarette distribution<\/strong>.Tobacconists<\/strong> do not own the tobacco<\/strong> they sell: they are authorized resellers<\/strong>, bound by a management contract<\/strong> signed with customs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

This means that behind every tobacconist<\/strong> is a genuine state license<\/strong>.And any resale of<\/strong> tobacco products<\/strong> without this authorization constitutes a serious infringement of the customs code<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Who are the suppliers of cigarettes sold in France?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Cigarettes<\/strong> and other tobacco products<\/strong> (rolling tobacco, cigars, pipe tobacco, etc.) come from large factories<\/strong> in France<\/strong> and around the world<\/strong>, but their distribution<\/strong> is strictly regulated.<\/p>\n\n

According to an official Customs report<\/strong>, only certain companies<\/strong> are authorized<\/strong> to supply tobacconists<\/strong>.These distribution companies<\/strong> work directly with Customs<\/strong>, who set the formalities<\/strong>, obligations<\/strong> and duties<\/strong> applicable to each retailer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

The main approved suppliers<\/strong> include :<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Seita Imperial Brands<\/strong>, spun off from the former Manufacture des Tabacs d’\u00c9tat,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Philip Morris France<\/strong>, a subsidiary of the international Philip Morris International group,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Japan Tobacco International (JTI France)<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • British American Tobacco (BAT)<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • And Landewyck France<\/strong>, a long-standing player in the European market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    These companies<\/strong> are responsible for the manufacture<\/strong>, conformity<\/strong> and delivery of<\/strong> cigarettes<\/strong> to tobacconists<\/strong> via a logistics network under the constant control of the Customs Department<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n

    State-contracted tobacconists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    Each tobacconist<\/strong> signs a management contract<\/strong> with customs<\/strong>, which specifies his obligations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Respect price<\/strong> and sales<\/strong> regulations<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Do not resell<\/strong> products<\/strong> to third parties,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Keep your establishment<\/strong> in compliance with the articles of the Customs Code<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • And follow the training courses<\/strong> required by theadministration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      This contract<\/strong> is renewable every three years, subject to the tobacconist’<\/strong>s good conduct.A tobacconist’ s manager<\/strong> is therefore not a conventional businessman: he acts on behalf of theState<\/strong>, in the name of the public service<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      Tobacconists<\/strong> are often associated with other commercial activities<\/strong> (press, drinks<\/strong>, games, light catering), but cigarette sales<\/strong> remain their core business<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n

      The central role of customs and excise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

      The Customs and Excise Department<\/strong> is the key player in the system.It oversees the manufacture<\/strong>, distribution<\/strong> and sale<\/strong> of manufactured tobacco<\/strong>.Its role is to guarantee traceability<\/strong>, monitor regulations<\/strong>, collect excise duties<\/strong> and prevent smuggling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      Each pack of cigarettes<\/strong> sold in France<\/strong> carries a specific traceability code<\/strong>, enabling its journey from the factory<\/strong> to the retailer<\/strong> to be tracked.This measure<\/strong> has been reinforced by a European decree<\/strong>, as part of the fight against illicit trade.<\/p>\n\n

      \ud83d\udc49 To put it plainly: no legal cigarette<\/strong> can be sold without passing through customs<\/strong> control.Thestate<\/strong> then collects tobacco<\/strong> taxes<\/strong>, which account for a significant proportion of public revenue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n

      State-set tobacco prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

      Unlike other consumer products<\/strong>, tobacco prices<\/strong> in France<\/strong> are not free.They are set by customs<\/strong>, after validation by the Ministry of the Budget<\/strong>.Each brand<\/strong> registers its prices<\/strong> with theauthorities<\/strong>, who publish them by official decree<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      Authorized<\/strong> tobacconists<\/strong> and resellers<\/strong> must apply these fixed prices<\/strong>.No resale<\/strong> below or above this price<\/strong> is authorized<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      This system guarantees national equality<\/strong>: a cigarette<\/strong> costs<\/strong> the same in Paris, Marseille or Lille.<\/p>\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n

      Obligations and responsibilities of tobacconists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

      Tobacconists<\/strong> are public managers<\/strong> under contract with theState<\/strong>.They must comply with a number oflegal obligations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Displaying health prevention articles<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Compliance with rules governing sales to minors<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Register<\/strong> of tobacco products<\/strong> sold,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • And compliance with public health<\/strong> regulations<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Failure to comply may result in administrative sanctions<\/strong>, or even withdrawal of the sales license<\/strong>.The tobacconist<\/strong> must also ensure that he does not promote tobacco<\/strong>, in accordance with advertising regulations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n

        A regulated but changing business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

        Today’s tobacconists<\/strong> face a major challenge: the decline in cigarette consumption<\/strong> and developments in the nicotine world<\/strong> (e-cigarettes, heated tobacco, etc.).To maintain their business<\/strong>, some tobacconists<\/strong> are diversifying their offer<\/strong>: press, telephony, drinks<\/strong>, scratch cards or vaping products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

        Thecustoms administration<\/strong>, aware of these changes, is supporting this transition<\/strong> through processing aids<\/strong>, so that businesses<\/strong> remain viable in the context of the fight against smoking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n

        Tobacco, health and society: a delicate balance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

        France<\/strong> has put in place strict regulations<\/strong> to control tobacco sales<\/strong>, protect public health<\/strong> and guarantee market<\/strong> transparency.Each establishment<\/strong> must comply with the legal obligations<\/strong> imposed by the customs<\/strong> and excise<\/strong> code<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

        But despite this surveillance<\/strong>, tobacco<\/strong> remains a dangerous product<\/strong>, responsible for over 75,000 deaths a year.As local players, tobacconists<\/strong> are at the heart of a regulated activity<\/strong>, but also of a public health<\/strong> debate.<\/p>\n\n

        <\/div>\n\n

        Conclusion: a strictly controlled network at the service of the State<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

        Behind every cigarette sold<\/strong> lies a state organization<\/strong> where every outlet<\/strong>, every retailer<\/strong>, every company<\/strong> is subject to a contract<\/strong>, formalities<\/strong> and strict regulations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

        From the factory<\/strong> to customs<\/strong>, from the tobacconist<\/strong> to the regional directorate<\/strong>, everything is governed by the French<\/strong> General Tax Code and<\/strong>the French Customs Code<\/strong>.A system that is unique in the world, where tobacco<\/strong> remains both a tax source<\/strong> and a public health issue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
