Being caught smoking and selling this type of electronic cigarette

"Is it illegal for me to sell some e-cigarettes?" Ye said during interrogation, but the police took out the "etomidate" test reagent board after his urine test, and the two red bars on it were particularly glaring. "Are you selling and smoking e-cigarettes? They are drugs! Starting from October 1st this year, illegal trafficking and smoking of etomidate are considered illegal and criminal activities!"

On October 8th, the Yuzhong police received a report from the public that someone illegally sold e-cigarettes containing the ingredient "etomidate" online. At about 21:00 on the same day, the police arrested the suspect Ye who was suspected of selling etomidate at the entrance of a community in Yuzhong District. A total of 4 etomidate electronic cigarette bombs and 2 electronic cigarette sticks were seized at the scene. At present, Ye has been subjected to criminal coercive measures in accordance with the law, and the suspect has also been administratively punished for taking etomidate.

On October 11th, the police of Yuzhong received another report from the public, claiming that someone was suspected of illegal trafficking of etomidate in their jurisdiction. After careful investigation, analysis, and judgment by the police, they quickly identified the suspects Li (male) and Li (female), and successfully arrested them in a certain area of the main city on the same day. After examination, the two confessed to the fact of drug trafficking and have been taken into criminal coercive measures in accordance with the law.

Eating etomidate can cause death in humans

The police introduced to upstream news reporters that etomidate is a white powder substance that is insoluble in water and is a non barbiturate intravenous short acting hypnotic drug. There are mainly two dosage forms in medical practice: aqueous and emulsion. Due to its minimal impact on the respiratory and circulatory systems, it is one of the commonly used drugs for anesthesia induction. In clinical practice, it is mainly suitable for general anesthesia induction and can also be used for short-term surgical anesthesia.

After taking etomidate, people may experience symptoms such as dizziness, unstable standing, unclear speech, trembling hands, and even fainting and loss of consciousness. Long term high-dose consumption of etomidate can lead to mental disorders such as irritability, laziness, and even death that affect an individual's emotions, thinking, and willpower behavior.

Police reminder: Etomidate belongs to the second category of psychotropic drugs after being listed. The country has clear laws and regulations on the illegal trafficking and consumption of anesthetic drugs, and no one is allowed to obtain them through illegal means. The general public, especially teenagers, should pay attention to prevention and not try to smoke e-cigarettes containing etomidate in pursuit of temporary stimulation. If you find any clues about smoking or selling illegal electronic cigarettes, please report to the public security organs as soon as possible.
