In recent days, a housing property in Lublin, Poland, attracted police attention due to excessive nighttime noise. During the investigation, the police discovered a quantity of drugs and illegal e-cigarettes, leading to the detention of all individuals present at the scene.

 

After conducting a further search of the 24-year-old man's room, the authorities have discovered 850 grams of ephedrine and 200 e-cigarettes without the required Polish tax stamps.

 

Currently, a 24-year-old man has been charged with the illegal possession of a large quantity of drugs. According to the court's decision, he will be temporarily detained for three months and could potentially face a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment.

China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang Industrial Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for an oral nicotine delivery product designed to let users actively adjust nicotine release. The product embeds two types of nicotine reservoirs with different wall thicknesses and positions inside a deformable matrix. Pressure applied with the tongue or lips can rupture the reservoirs and accelerate nicotine release. In simulated oral tests, several patent examples showed sharply higher peak nicotine release rates as applied force increased from 0 N to 1 N and 3 N. The filing explores a shift from preset release profiles toward user-triggered nicotine delivery.
