I want to apply for a tobacco license, but the tobacco company refuses, saying that the shop next to me is too close. Is there any way?

The "Regulations on the Management of Rational Distribution of Local Tobacco Retail Points" stipulates the distance limit. Before the introduction of this regulation, there was no distance limit when applying for a permit. The law is not retroactive, so even if there are regulations now, there are distance restrictions.

However, the certificate issued before the promulgation of the Regulations is still valid. I don't know the specific time when the Regulations on Rational Distribution was formulated and promulgated in various places. Our local area was formulated in 2007, so there will be a shortage of certificates issued before 2007.

In some places, it is stipulated in the Regulations on Rational Layout that the distance is not limited for large supermarkets larger than square meters, and it will be relaxed for groups such as the disabled, martyrs and five-guarantee households, such as 50 meters to 30 meters. It is also possible that your local tobacco bureau will issue certificates indiscriminately to those who do not meet the requirements. ?
