Swiss Authorities Seize Over 2,000 E-Cigarette Products in Raid
Swiss police confiscate 96kg of e-cigarette products worth over $22,000 in a store for violating tobacco laws.

According to a report from Zürcher Unterland on January 22, the police in the Swiss town of Regensdorf seized 96 kilograms of e-cigarette products during a commercial inspection, totaling over 1100 items with an estimated value of approximately 20,000 Swiss Francs (equivalent to 22,068.74 US dollars).


In this operation, a store that sells hookah, shisha tobacco, and e-cigarettes was found to be in violation of tobacco product regulations and was inspected by authorities.
