Millions of vapes are at risk of being discarded in the UK as retailers are reportedly failing to recycle them. Various incidents involving illegal vapes, with street values ranging from £13,000 to over £47,000, have been seized in different locations, including Blackburn, York, Swansea, and Plymouth. Some vapes were found hidden in a World War Two bunker in Swansea and in a chair containing oversized vapes and tobacco. The discovery of thousands of illegal vapes in a bunker behind a shop has raised concerns about the prevalence of such products.
