According to reports from Ottawa, Canada this week, a convenience store in Quebec City was fined by local authorities for selling flavored e-cigarettes and spray products in violation of tobacco control laws.

During the operation, the police seized 143 flavored e-cigarettes, 48 flavored e-liquids, 25 packs of flavored nicotine films, and equipment supporting illegal sales.
