Cigarette smuggling has caused a loss of thousands of billions of Vietnamese dong each year for the state, according to figures released by the Viet Nam Tobacco Association at a symposium held on Monday in Can Tho.
Farmer Nguyen Van Sau in the southern province of Tay Ninh''s Ben Cau
District is relieved that it has been a profitable year for tobacco
farmers, as the crop has fed his family and hundreds of others for
decades.
