Italian Police Seize Illegal E-Cigarettes at Vaping Expo

Italian police have seized over 800 illegal disposable e-cigarettes and e-liquids at the "Vaping Expo" held in Padova.

According to a report by Italian media outlet Padovaoggi, the Italian police conducted an inspection of the e-cigarette exhibition, known as "Vaping Expo," held at the Padova Exhibition Center in Italy from November 25th to November 26th.

During the inspection, the Italian police seized over 800 illegally imported disposable e-cigarettes and related e-liquids. The case involves four e-cigarette industry professionals, including three Chinese nationals and one British citizen.

Reportedly, these businessmen were showcasing disposable e-cigarettes at their booths without the corresponding compliance markings, and as a result, they will face administrative penalties.
