The Lebanese Regie for Tobacco pursued its anti-smuggling efforts, successfully confiscating considerable quantities of smuggled tobacco products, smuggled and counterfeit mu’assal, cigars and electronic cigarettes. This came as a result of raid operations conducted in Chiyah, Dora, Bourj Hammoud, Sad el-Baushrieh, Mtayleb, Mazraat Yashou’a, and Zalka.
Violations were documented in a report that was submitted to the competent judicial authorities.
