🚭 Lincolnshire council takes a stand against underage vape sales
A quarter of Lincolnshire shops tested have sold vapes to underage children, data has revealed - significantly higher than the rate for alcohol or cigarettes.According to Lincolnshire Trading Standards, 27% of underage test purchases resulted in a minor being sold a vape, compared to less than 10% for alcohol or cigarettes.Since May 2022, Lincolnshire Trading Standards has seized 9,455 illegal vapes from 22 raids on shops in the county.
He highlighted the importance of educating retailers about age-restricted products, as many of them have never sold such products before. However, the problem persists, particularly among retailers who have not previously sold age-restricted products.Councillor McNally said: "It's a difficult one because when they originally came out they were a thing to stop smoking, so it probably has its benefits in that respect.Buyers may also not be familiar with the difference between legal and illegal vapes, further complicating the matter.
