Grain and oil supermarkets have tobacco licenses. Can I open a supermarket with a tobacco license next to me?

You can't. Applying for a tobacco license near a grain and oil supermarket and opening a tobacco counter in a supermarket are two different things. Applying for a tobacco license near the grain and oil supermarket can only show that you are qualified to legally sell tobacco products, but it does not mean that you can open a tobacco counter in the supermarket. Because in China, all kinds of shops, markets and stores need to abide by the regulations and obtain tobacco monopoly licenses through relevant channels and procedures before opening tobacco counters.
