More than 2,000 disposable vapes seized in Kent after ban
Since the ban on disposable vapes, over 2,000 illegal products were seized from Kent shops by Trading Standards. Inspections were conducted in over 80 stores, with some not complying with the ban. Further checks will be done to enforce the ban. Violators can face fines and prison time, as the ban aims to reduce the environmental impact of disposable vapes. The seized items will be recycled, and stricter regulations now require vapes to be reusable. This clampdown follows the confiscation of over six million illegal vaping products across England in recent years.
