After double raid: E-cigarette shop in Berlin reopened!
Drama and scandal in Berlin! An e-cigarette shop in Prenzlauer Berg that illegally sold to children is allowed to open its doors again despite massive official raids. The closures were in response to repeated complaints from residents, but the operators are not letting it get them down.
The controversial store, which has been closed twice for its questionable business practices, is back in the game. What is behind this surprising decision by the authorities? The exact reasons are unclear, but it raises questions as to why a business that broke the law is allowed a second try.
The background to the scandal
Just recently, local media reported on the illegal practice of selling e-cigarettes to minors. Such activities are not only against the law, they also endanger the health of the youth. Despite these alarming incidents, those in charge of the store appear undeterred. Reopening the store could set a dangerous precedent for similar businesses.
There is widespread outrage among residents and questions are raised about the integrity of the authorities. How could it reopen despite the obvious laws that were broken here? In a city that prides itself on protecting the interests of its citizens, this decision marks another dark point in the store's history.
