烟草在线据越南《青年报》报道编译　　据越南国家烟草公司进行的检测表示，占据越南走私卷烟市场90%的Jet和“英雄”产品含有超标的有害化学物。

　　该研究机构日前表示，独立的检测发现Jet和“英雄”烟草产品的尼古丁含量超过了越南许可的水平。

　　报告还发现这些产品的镉含量分别为2.11毫克/千克和2.69毫克/千克，而同时54个卷烟品牌中的镉平均含量仅为1.48毫克/千克。

　　该全国机构计算，一天吸一包Jet或“英雄”卷烟，大约吸入约50毫克的镉。

　　根据该机构的说法，人体每日可输入的镉只有20-40毫克，超过这一水平将带来肝脏疾病、缺血和高血压的风险。

　　自1990年，卷烟进口在越南一直是非法的，因此所有的Jet和“英雄”都是走私进入越南的。

　　根据越南烟草协会，每年大约8.5亿包Jet和“英雄”烟草产品走私进入越南。

　　Jet和“英雄”品牌卷烟大多从哥伦比亚走私进入越南。这些产品据说都是印尼生产的，然后以优惠的税收出口到哥伦比亚。

　　工业和贸易部报告说，今年超过10亿包卷烟已经被走私到越南，并指出非法贸易可能导致国家预算超过8万亿越南盾（3.777亿美元）的损失。

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
