On June 13th, spokesperson Agnieszka Rzeźnicka-Gniadek of the Tax and Customs Office in Lower Silesia, Poland announced that the office's employees had conducted an inspection on a business located in Swidnica.

A significant amount of the packaging did not comply with the law for protecting people from the harmful effects of tobacco and tobacco products.

It has been reported that these products have been confiscated for use in a criminal tax investigation and will undergo laboratory testing to detect any prohibited substances in the e-cigarette liquid.

According to Agnieszka Rzeźnicka-Gniadek, if these e-cigarette liquid products were to be sold on the market, the country's finances could suffer a loss of nearly 179,000 Polish zloty (approx. USD 44,000) due to unpaid consumption taxes.

The spokesperson reminded that unmarked customs clearance labels on e-cigarette liquid and innovative products are not permitted in commercial transactions.

She concluded, "For legal e-cigarette products, the entire production process, ingredients, and quality are regulated by the appropriate departments. Illegal e-cigarette products do not meet quality standards and may contain toxic substances. They pose a threat to our health and lives."
