Polish Man Arrested for Illegal Possession and Sale of E-cigarettes
A 22-year-old Polish man was arrested for illegal possession and sale of e-cigarettes in Milanowek, Poland.

According to Dziennik Wschodni on October 15th, a 22-year-old man from Poland was arrested by police for allegedly illegally possessing and selling e-cigarettes.


The man was stopped for a road check in Milan, where police noticed his unusually nervous behavior, raising suspicion. Upon further inspection, a large quantity of e-cigarettes without Polish tax stamps was found in his car.


Local police spokesperson Ewelina Semeniuk stated that the man claimed he purchased the e-cigarettes at a discounted price and had planned to sell them for profit. He has been detained by authorities.


Subsequently, police went to the warehouse he rented in Biarlski County, ultimately seizing over 3,000 illegal e-cigarettes. The man has been charged and will soon face trial in court.
