According to the website of Guizhou Provincial Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, Guizhou Provincial Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and Guizhou Provincial Tobacco Company share the same office, implementing "one organization, two brands", and are mainly responsible for the administrative law enforcement of tobacco monopoly in the province, cigarette wholesale, tobacco leaf planting, purchase, redrying and processing, etc. The Guizhou Provincial Tobacco Monopoly Bureau (Company) has 88 county-level bureaus (branches) under its 10 municipal (autonomous prefecture, new district) bureaus (companies).

Xiaoxiang Morning News reported that in the 2012 Hunan Tobacco System recruitment plan, employers including the Chenzhou Tobacco Bureau stipulated in the restrictions on some positions that candidates must have graduated from basketball majors and have national athlete qualifications. The Chenzhou Tobacco Monopoly Bureau responded, "We are now operating as an enterprise, and this recruitment is actually an enterprise behavior."Recruiting students majoring in basketball and vocal music is to enrich the corporate culture. We need to reserve a group of employees with certain specialties. They must have formal academic qualifications recognized by the state. It is not targeted at one or several specific people. There is no such thing as 'carrot recruitment'."
