Concern ahead of vape ban

A ban on single-use disposable vaping devices in the UK has led to panic-buying and discounts on products. This legislation aims to reduce nicotine addiction and fire hazards. However, concerns remain about enforcement and potential loopholes. Groups suggest licensing vape sellers to ensure compliance. There are worries about a return to smoking and the attractiveness of new vape products. Despite efforts to crack down on illegal sales, shops in Westminster have been found with suspected counterfeit and stolen goods. Authorities are increasing checks on vape sales to uphold the ban and protect consumers.
