Seized Batch of Unidentified E-Cigarettes and E-Liquids in Vietnam
Vietnamese police confiscate a batch of undocumented e-cigarettes and e-liquids being sold at a barbershop in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to Vietnamese media outlet ANTV, the Lang Son City Police recently discovered and confiscated a batch of unidentified e-cigarettes and e-liquids, which were found being sold at a barbershop in the Zhifang District of the city.

 

During the inspection process, authorities discovered that the store displayed and sold 80 bottles of e-liquid and 11 pod systems, available in various colors. The store owner failed to provide any invoices or documents proving the source of these products. He claimed to have purchased the e-cigarettes through social networks and then resold them for profit.
