Illegal Sale of Vaping Products in Vietnam
Vietnamese police seize illegal vaping products in a Hoang Liet district store. 272 bottles of e-liquid and 174 different e-cigarette brands were found.

According to the police in Xialong City, Guangning Province, Vietnam, during an inspection on May 18, The Vape Club (located at Phu Gia 4 Apartment, Vinhome Urban Area, Group 59, Zone 4, Hung Ha District, Xialong City, Guangning Province) was discovered to be openly selling various illegal electronic cigarette products and bottled e-juices. During the inspection of the premises, law enforcement found shelves displaying various e-cigarette products and accessories, as well as different types of bottled e-juices, but the owner of the establishment failed to provide any business licenses, invoices or documents for the products being sold. According to records produced by the enforcement authorities, a total of 272 bottles of e-juices, 174 boxes of different brands of e-cigarettes, and 83 e-cigarette accessories were seized during the operation. The business owner stated that he rented the premises with the intention of engaging in e-cigarette transactions and had previously applied for a permit to register a home business in the grocery industry, but the license was cancelled for not meeting the original business purpose. Currently, there are no registered business procedures for this establishment. It is known that the owner bought these products from a supplier in Hanoi. The Xialong City police are currently sealing all goods related to the case and will continue to investigate and handle the matter according to regulations.
