The Anti-Smuggling Unit operating under the Lebanese Regie for Tobacco recently seized lands designated for cigar leaf cultivation in the Zouk Mosbeh area. This move is part of the Regie’s ongoing efforts to combat smuggling and counterfeiting.
The officers in charge confiscated all the seized items, including equipment used in cigar manufacturing.
Simultaneously, the Regie’s units raided stores in the Zouk Mikael area, and confiscated large quantities of the vape electronic cigarettes.
The violations were documented in a report and are now under review by the competent judicial authorities.
