City's illegal vape trade 'makes more money than cocaine'

THE sale of illegal vapes has been described as a trade that makes “more money than cocaine" in Liverpool.

- 

This week, a council chief told the ECHO how one raid netted a stash worth more than £100,000 - as officials vowed to crack down on the trade across our city. This past summer, the UK Government made it illegal to sell or supply single-use or disposable vapes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine, and covers both in-store and online sales. Despite this, some traders across Liverpool have failed to take notice.
