What impact will supermarkets bring to the market if they sell cigarettes at low prices and disrupt the market?

That's a good question. The supermarket sold cigarettes at low prices, which disrupted the market. We should look at this problem from several aspects.

From the point of view of cigarette retailers, supermarkets themselves are cigarette retailers. If he sells cigarettes at a low price, it will inevitably hurt other retailers with normal prices. If others cut prices accordingly, it will lead to the confusion of retail prices in a local area and the loss of retailers' interests.

Cigarettes, as tobacco monopoly products, are subject to the relevant laws and regulations of the state, and their prices are subject to the Price Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). Therefore, it is illegal to sell cigarettes at low prices at will to disrupt the market itself. Is the so-called state-owned law, in an orderly way. Price not only ensures the profit of retailers as businessmen, but also ensures the stability and health of the market.

Low-price competition is an irregular behavior and also "spoils" the market. Relax one foot, then back ten feet. Once sold at a low price, it is difficult to recover the original price. If supermarkets sell at low prices, it will probably lead to vicious competition in that region, which will eventually lead to regional market chaos, damage to everyone's commercial interests and lack of business confidence.

In fact, I understand that low-priced sales are often accompanied by some red and white events, that is, smoking for the sake of events, which is a big part of improving profits for retailers. We all know that going to two more places, comparing with each other, and choosing cheaper stores are the easiest way to make the retailers who are neighbors jealous, and then "smashing prices" with each other, making a mess, but not benefiting themselves.

Therefore, from the perspective of safeguarding the interests of cigarette retailers, such behavior is not desirable, which not only harms others and benefits themselves, but also disrupts the market order.

From the perspective of public interests, we all know that cigarettes are expensive, and we all know that smoking is harmful to health. From the national point of view, cigarettes, as a special kind of consumer goods, naturally need to control their prices and sales to protect the health of the people. Therefore, selling cigarettes at low prices violates the original intention of the state to control tobacco consumer goods.

Shouldn't we advocate healthy consumption and protect national health?

If cigarettes are sold at such a low price for a long time, some consumers will think that the price is cheap, thus increasing the demand for tobacco products. In the long run, this is also a kind of damage to the health of ordinary people. Therefore, the state is constantly increasing taxes on the tobacco industry and controlling tobacco consumption through tax leverage.

In the tax law, tobacco itself is used as consumption tax to pay taxes for the country. Therefore, by increasing taxes and prices, this control measure can control the market demand for tobacco products, thus controlling the number of smokers and reducing the number of smokers. After all, the price has gone up, and buyers naturally have to do what they can.

Therefore, going back to the supermarket to sell cigarettes at low prices disturbs the market, which is also a kind of damage to everyone's interests from the perspective of the interests of the masses.

To sum up, I think selling cigarettes at low prices in supermarkets will disrupt the market, disrupt the market operation order, damage the normal interests of retailers, and harm the interests of the masses in the long run.
