[geovalin]

From June 23 to 25, the Anti-Drug Department and the Phnom Penh police raided 15 locations in the capital and arrested 31 people for selling and using e-cigarette products, but police can only educate offenders and make them sign a contract not to use or sell the products as there is no law to punish e-cigarette users.

 

In the raids, National Police seized 3,409 vape e-cigarettes, three shisha and e-cigarette mouthpieces, 2,785 vape bottles, 922 boxed kits of vape e-cigarettes, and six boxes containing a total of 1,266 sets of e-cigarette chargers. Police in other provinces also started tightening the ban on the use and sale of e-cigarette products.

 

Deputy Director of the Anti-Drug Department of the National Police Lieutenant General In Sung said yesterday that business owners and consumers who ignored the recent instructions from the National Police about using and selling e-cigarette products would be educated and made to sign a contract to stop their activities. Lt Gen Sung also said that after the contract was signed, business owners and consumers are allowed to return home.
