Это потому что Азербайджан - самая нетолерантная страна в отношении к курящим. Потому что негласно запрещён легальный ввоз табачных изделий (обычным гражданам без дай-дайев). Потому что фермерам нельзя продавать табак на рынке. Потому что курящий азербайджанец должен облизоваться, смотря обзоры на ютуб, как россияне недорого покупают шикарный азербайджанский табак в развес. Потому что азербайджанцу предлагают курить изделия Сумгаитского химзавода табакера (мощностями которых пользуются и др. производители). Есть конечно "Собрание" (более-менее сигарета охшайан) и пару-тройка точек продающих (дороже чем у соседей) импортный табак 1-2 видов без особого выбора. Но это далеко не всем по карману. И есть отчаянные попытки некоторых местных производителей поставить на рынок нормальный товар. Ситуация безобразней некуда. Ловля контрабандистов в данном контексте, - защита монополистов рынка, больше ничего.
