煙草在線據越南《青年報》報道編譯　　據越南國家煙草公司進行的檢測表示，占據越南走私卷煙市場90%的Jet和“英雄”產品含有超標的有害化學物。

　　該研究機構日前表示，獨立的檢測發現Jet和“英雄”煙草產品的尼古丁含量超過了越南許可的水平。

　　報告還發現這些產品的鎘含量分別為2.11毫克/千克和2.69毫克/千克，而同時54個卷煙品牌中的鎘平均含量僅為1.48毫克/千克。

　　該全國機構計算，一天吸一包Jet或“英雄”卷煙，大約吸入約50毫克的鎘。

　　根據該機構的說法，人體每日可輸入的鎘只有20-40毫克，超過這一水平將帶來肝臟疾病、缺血和高血壓的風險。

　　自1990年，卷煙進口在越南一直是非法的，因此所有的Jet和“英雄”都是走私進入越南的。

　　根據越南煙草協會，每年大約8.5億包Jet和“英雄”煙草產品走私進入越南。

　　Jet和“英雄”品牌卷煙大多從哥倫比亞走私進入越南。這些產品據說都是印尼生產的，然后以優惠的稅收出口到哥倫比亞。

　　工業和貿易部報告說，今年超過10億包卷煙已經被走私到越南，并指出非法貿易可能導致國家預算超過8萬億越南盾（3.777億美元）的損失。

Health Vietnam Says Popular Smuggled Cigarettes are Toxic

　　Jet and Hero products, which account for over 90 percent of contraband cigarettes in Vietnam, contain excess levels of toxic chemicals, according to tests conducted by the Vietnam National Tobacco Corporation.

　　The institute recently said that independent tests found that the nicotine content of Jet and Hero tobacco products exceeded permissible levels in Vietnam.　

　　The products' cadmium content was found to be 2.11 mg/kg and 2.69 mg/kg, respectively, the report found.

　　Meanwhile, the average cadmium content found in 54 cigarette brands was only 1.48 mg/kg, according to the institute.

　　The national organization calculated that those who smoke a pack of Jet or Hero cigarettes a day, inhale around 50 mg of cadmium.

　　According to the agency, the allowable daily human intake of cadmium is only 20-40 mg--exceeding that level boosts one's risk of contracting liver disease, ischemia, high blood pressure, according to the association.

　　The importation of cigarettes has been illegal in Vietnam since 1990, so all Jet and Hero cigarettes are smuggled into the country.

　　Around 850 million packs of Jet and Hero tobacco products are smuggled into Vietnam each year, according to the Vietnam Tobacco Association.

　　Jet and Hero cigarette brands are mostly smuggled from Cambodia to Vietnam. The products are said to be made in Indonesia and then exported to Cambodia with preferential taxes.

　　More than one billion packs of cigarette have been smuggled into Vietnam so far this year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has reported -- noting that the illicit trade could cause a loss of over VND8 trillion (US$377.7 million) to the state budget. Enditem
