Victory Vape Fined for Illegal Advertising of Nicotine E-cigarettes

According to Radical News, Australia's TGA has fined Victory Vape $157,752 for alleged illegal advertising of nicotine e-cigarette products.

According to a report by "The Radical News," the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia has issued a fine of 157,752 Australian dollars (approximately 104,000 US dollars) to online retailer Victory Vape. This case involves allegations that the company illegally advertised nicotine e-cigarette products.

The company received six fines amounting to $112,680 AUD, while the two directors each received six fines totaling $45,072 AUD.

The introduction of these fines follows similar actions by the TGA against other companies, including issuing fines totaling $588,840 to a group of companies whose actions involved the illegal importation of nicotine e-cigarettes containing prohibited ingredients that did not meet the relevant standards.

In Australia, nicotine e-cigarettes are classified as prescription drugs and cannot be advertised to the general public. Engaging in such advertising is considered a violation of the 1989 Therapeutic Goods Act, which could result in severe fines and even civil or criminal court proceedings.
