Cigarette smuggling fell by 30% in 2015, com- pared with the previous year. According to reports in Vietnam News, more than 10 million cigarette packs were confiscated and some VND21 billion from fines was added to the state budget in 2015. Nearly 9,700 cases of smuggling, involving 6,000 people, were detected, of which 179 cases against 263 people were sent to prosecution. The num- ber of cigarette packs seized was up by 19%, with more than 10 billion packs seized in 2015. The Vietnam Cigarette Association says smug- gled Jet and Hero cigarettes account for 80% of the total cigarette consumption in Vietnam, and are proposing that the brand registration of Jet and Hero cigarettes of Indonesia's Sumatra Tobacco Trade Company should be suspended. According to previous tests conducted by VINATABA, Jet and Hero cigarettes contain ex- cessive levels of toxic chemicals. These tests found that the nicotine content of both prod- ucts exceeded permissible levels set by the Viet- namese authorities. They also found that the cadmium content in Jet and Hero cigarettes was 2.11 mg/kg and 2.69 mg/kg, respectively. In com- parison, the average cadmium content found in 54 other cigarette brands was only 1.48 mg/kg.
