Vietnamese Man Arrested for Attempted Sale of Concealed Drugs
Vietnamese police in Hanoi's Jin Biao district seized a new type of drug hidden in e-cigarettes, arresting a man involved in its trafficking.

According to Vietnamese media outlet Congan, the Hanoi police in Vietnam have successfully cracked a new drug trafficking case. A man had purchased and intended to sell a new type of drugs through social networks, cleverly concealed within e-cigarettes.

 

The man in question is named Nguyễn Văn Hiếu, born in 1987. Police discovered suspicious behavior by Nguyễn Văn Hiếu on a street in the Jinbiao district and proceeded to conduct an inspection. During the police inspection, Nguyễn Văn Hiếu voluntarily handed over three boxes containing a total of 30 e-cigarettes and admitted that these e-cigarettes contained a new type of drug known as ADB-BUTINACA. He confessed that he was planning to sell them to a customer.

 

The new type of drug called "Pob Chill" was purchased by Nguyen Van Tuy through social media platforms at a cost of 380,000 Vietnamese dong per unit, amounting to a total of over 11.4 million Vietnamese dong (approximately 4,678 US dollars). Tuy planned to sell each e-cigarette at a price of 410,000 Vietnamese dong, aiming for significant profits. Currently, the case is under further investigation.

EU Rejects “Royal Smoke” Trademark Application Over Similarity to BAT’s “Royals”
The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) Opposition Division has rejected Latvian company Baltic Trade Solutions’ application for the “Royal Smoke” trademark, intended for use on e-cigarettes and related products. The decision found the mark too similar to British American Tobacco’s “Royals” cigarette brand, creating a likelihood that average consumers would mistakenly believe the two are connected. Both marks cover products within the “smokers’ articles” category.
