If you are caught selling electronic cigarettes, you should be investigated for criminal responsibility. E-cigarette is an electronic product that imitates cigarettes and has the same appearance, smoke, taste and feeling as cigarettes. A product that converts nicotine into steam by atomization and other means and allows users to smoke it. However, if it is illegal, reaching a certain amount is suspected of a criminal offence. For example, selling an "on-the-head electronic cigarette" containing synthetic cannabinoids belongs to drug trafficking, and smoking an "on-the-head electronic cigarette" belongs to drug abuse.
