Due to lack of money, Ye Nan from Changhua launched a drug manufacturing organization in September last year and recruited five men and women to make "rainbow cigarettes" in rented houses and motels. A pack of 18 cigarettes was sold for NT$5,000. In October last year, the Changhua District Prosecutor's Office directed the police to smash three of Ye Nan's drug manufacturing bases. The case was heard by the Changhua District Court, and the main suspect Ye Tianrong was sentenced to 9 years in prison; the remaining members were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 7 years in October to 1 year in November depending on the degree of participation.
The indictment in this case stated that Ye Nan rented private houses in Shengang Township and Lugang Town respectively, and used them as three secret bases for "raw material preparation" and "cigarette processing". The group also formulated an "employee code" and managed it in an enterprise-style manner. It manufactured large quantities of rainbow cigarettes containing the third-level drug "α-pyrrolidinyl benzene isohexanone" and attracted teenagers with its colorful and novel appearance. The price of a poisonous rainbow cigarette is about 300 to 400 yuan, and the price of a whole pack of cigarettes is about 5,000 yuan, making huge profits.

The verdict pointed out that because Ye Nan was short of money, he launched a drug manufacturing organization. He first recruited his female companion Wang Nu to join, and then attracted his nephew Hu Nan to be responsible for mixing ingredients and shipping with a monthly salary of 60,000 yuan. Because it is so profitable, I have attracted three friends around me to actively join the cigarette business, and they will receive 100 yuan for each pack (18 cigarettes) completed. Some people receive 2,000 yuan a day, while others receive 3,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan. The group has been established in rural houses, motels and rental buildings in Changhua.
The court found that the six people had criminal connections and shared actions, and they all constituted the crime of jointly producing third-level drugs, and also violated the organized crime prevention regulations. The defendants in the whole case confessed to the crime. Ye Nan initiated, presided over, directed and recruited others, and Hu Nan also engaged in recruitment.
The court considered that both Ye and Hu had a history of manufacturing or selling drugs, and they committed crimes again during the period of arrest or parole. The crimes were relatively serious, and they were sentenced to 9 years and 7 years and 10 months respectively. The remaining defendants were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 4 years and 6 months to 1 year and 11 months.
