Rapid Investigation and Seizure of Illegal e-Cigarette Seller in Italy
Italian financial police confiscated illegal e-cigarettes from an unlicensed seller in Lecce after receiving reports from concerned parents.

The Italian economic and financial law enforcement agency conducted a rapid investigation into Yellow Flame and discovered an illegal e-cigarette vendor in Liruona without a national monopoly seal. The vendor was fined and all their products were confiscated.


In recent days, several parents have reported a business owner for providing "sales recommendations" to children to the financial police. One mother found a non-compliant electronic cigarette in her son's backpack and reported it to the financial police. After school, the financial police began searching city parks for the seller and found him with a small amount of electronic cigarettes ready for sale.

Denver to Hold Referendum on Flavored Tobacco Sales Ban; If Approved, Enforcement Begins in 2026
A referendum to be held on November 4 will determine whether Denver retains its ban on the sale of flavored tobacco/nicotine products. Campaign finance records show that, as of the end of August, the side seeking to repeal the ban had raised $410,000, significantly more than the pro-ban side (about $245,000). The ban took effect in March 2025, but the city had planned to begin enforcement on January 2026; if the referendum overturns the ban, enforcement will not proceed.
