More than 71,000 packets of smuggled and counterfeit cigarettes were destroyed Monday in the Mekong Delta province of Long An, the local market management department reports.

With the bust, the total of illegal cigarettes seized this year comes to four million packets nationwide.

Most of the illicit products are under trade name Hero and Jet, smuggled mainly from the neighboring country Cambodia.

One way of recognizing these products is when there is no compulsory line printed on packet to warn users about physical damages from smoking.
