A series of regulatory actions have been taken against vape shops for various violations. A vape shop owner was fined £6,000 for selling products to minors. Additionally, a shop named Easi-Vape was ordered to close for two months after being caught stocking illegal vapes for the third time, with illegal over-strength vapes being seized. In a separate incident, a multi-agency operation in Stourport led to the seizure of thousands of pounds worth of illegal cigarettes and vapes from another store. A vape and dispensary at 2442 Broadway was also padlocked under tobacco and nicotine laws.
