£10,000 Worth of Goods Stolen in Curry Rivel Burglary
A petrol station in Curry Rivel, UK, was robbed by three masked men, resulting in a loss of £3,000.

On January 15th, according to The County Gazette, a petrol station in Curry Rivel village, UK, was burglarized in the early hours of the morning. Three masked men stole items worth approximately £10,000, resulting in a loss of around £3,000. The entire incident was captured clearly on CCTV footage.

 

James Duder, the owner of the gas station, has stated that he plans to enhance security measures in order to prevent such crimes in the future, as this is the third theft that the business has experienced.

 

According to video footage, three thieves arrived at the store in a black Audi with fake license plates at 1:30 am on the 14th. Two individuals were responsible for prying open the store's door, while the other person prepared bags and boxes to hold the stolen items.

 

The stolen items included cigarettes worth £7,500, an e-cigarette worth £1,000, and scratch cards worth £1,000. The police arrived at the scene within 14 minutes of receiving the report, but the thief had already fled in the direction of Taunton.

Russia's State Duma Passes Tobacco and Nicotine Ingredient Disclosure Bill, Targeting 2027 End to Trade-Secret Protection for Certain Harmful Ingredient Data
Russia's State Duma Passes Tobacco and Nicotine Ingredient Disclosure Bill, Targeting 2027 End to Trade-Secret Protection for Certain Harmful Ingredient Data
Russia's State Duma passed a government-sponsored amendment on November 11, 2026, by 414 votes to none, seeking to prevent businesses from classifying information on the presence and number of types of certain harmful ingredients in tobacco and nicotine-containing products as trade secrets. The measure covers ingredients capable of increasing nicotine dependence or exhibiting toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic or reproductive toxicity, including substances that acquire such properties during heating or smoldering. Bill No. 1286415-8 would amend Article 5 of Federal Law No. 98-FZ on Commercial Secrets and is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027. The bill has cleared all three readings in the State Duma but has not completed the remaining legislative procedures.

Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
Texas Extends Tobacco Tax Interpretation to a 6-Methylnicotine Product, Citing VELO Ruling
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts ruled in September 2026 that a combustible product made with non-tobacco plant material and 6-methylnicotine (6-MN), a synthetic nicotine analog, qualifies as a taxable tobacco product. The applicant said the product contained neither tobacco leaf nor measurable conventional nicotine. The determination applies reasoning from a May Texas Supreme Court decision involving VELO nicotine pouches, finding that the plant material and 6-MN together perform the functions of tobacco in a conventional smoking product. The ruling carries applicable tax, licensing and reporting obligations but is limited to the facts submitted by the taxpayer. It does not establish a blanket tax classification for all 6-MN products or extend the same conclusion to e-cigarettes.
