Smoking a cigarette, including an electronic one, on air may be a criminal offense. According to a report by News 12, the Second Authority for Television and Radio subsequently opened an investigation.

The channel strictly adheres to the provisions of the law for the prevention of smoking in public places and exposure to smoke.".
