Abstract: Abnormal cigarette flows pose significant challenges to tobacco market regulation, exacerbated by fragmented data and slow inter-departmental coordination. This study proposes a blockchain-based framework to improve traceability and regulatory efficiency. Key features include decentralized consensus, immutable record-keeping, and smart contracts for automated compliance checks. Results show a detection latency reduction of 87% (from 6.2 to 0.8 days), improved departmental collaboration scores (from 5.3 to 9.2), and an 84% decrease in false positives. By integrating audit, licensing, and sales monitoring, the framework enhances overall supply chain governance and demonstrates the potential for broader application in high-stakes regulatory environments.
