vapor room 200 vapes seized as shops fail Trading Standards purchases On Feb 11, 2024 Around 200 illicit vapes were seized during a Trading Standards crackdown in Preston (Image: PA) An “unacceptable” number of shops failed test purchases conducted by Trading Standards which led to the seizure of 200 illicit vapes. Preston City Council worked with the Trading Standards team to conduct alcohol and tobacco test purchasing across Broadgate, the city centre, and Ribbleton on Saturday (February 10). Twelve premises were tested as part of the operation, nine of which hold a license to sell alcohol. Of these, six failed and sold alcohol to a 15-year-old test purchaser, and one other sold a vape to the same test purchaser. This led to an inspection where approximately 200 illicit vapes were seized. The cashiers who sold alcohol were all issued with £90 fixed penalties and the owners of the businesses now risk a review of their license premises. PC Ste Connolly, from police licensing, said: “This level of failure rate is unacceptable for licensed premises and particularly concerning when free training on age related sales is available to premises. “All licensed premises have an obligation to promote the Protection of Children from Harm and those that fail to promote this risk, at worst, revocation of the license should a review be undertaken.” Read More: 200 vapes seized as shops fail Trading Standards purchases Continue Reading failpurchasesseizedshopsstandardstradingVapes Share Prev Post Valentine’s Day 2024 Astrological Aspects Next Post Want $1 Million in Retirement? 3 Stocks to Buy Now and Hold for Decades You might also like More from author vapor room Just One Hour On Social Media Doubles Risk Of Smoking, Vaping Among Youth: Study vapor room Quit-smoking drug helps half of vapers quit, too vapor room Assembly Health Committee Approves Bill to Combat Underage Smoking and Vaping vapor room Arkansas teen is rushed to the ER after constant vaping caused his urine to vapor room What happens to your body when you give up vaping as UK set for ban vapor room Is Vaping Ageing Your Ovaries?
