According to El Espanol on July 22, the Spanish Civil Guard seized more than 170,000 illegally sold vapes in several towns in Seville. The market value of these products exceeds 1.5 million euros.
During the investigation of the “Humeros” operation, the Civil Guard found several stores selling vapes without authorization and that the products did not comply with the Ministry of Health’s requirements for manufacturing, labeling and distribution.
The Civil Guard suspects that these products enter Spain illegally and that “the vast majority are obtained from outside the European Union by unauthorized importers”.
The agency has recommended penalties for smugglers and for violations of the regulations governing the manufacture, display and sale of tobacco products and related products. In addition, inspections of different stores are continuing.
In Spain, product information should be in Spanish, whether it contains nicotine or not. In addition, the maximum concentration of vapes should be 2%, that is, 20 mg/ml. The maximum capacity of disposable vapes is 2 ml, and the capacity of refill liquid bottles is 10 ml. Products must have detailed information and warnings: “This product contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance. Not recommended for non-smokers. ”
