As a result, we are currently in a period of uncertainty and I am making it clear that you stock up while you can still purchase.

Media NEWS has asked the state authorities about the arrests, but has not received a response.
On TikTok, a number of vendors posted videos stating they would not shut down their businesses because of the new regulatory measures.

The video shows DiCaprio shouting angrily over pictures of wholesale e-cigarettes, “I’m **** not leaving!” (“I’mnotf***ingleaving!”)
There are other videos that also reportedly treat these laws in a playful manner and make it clear that they have no intention of shutting down their business.
