Shop was caught selling illegal vapes to children

A district judge at Swansea Magistrates’ Court approved Neath Port Talbot council’s application for a closure order against Vape Land on Commercial Road in Taibach, Port Talbot.

Council officers caught the business selling counterfeit and illicit (non-tax paid) tobacco and cigarettes as well as oversized vapes “on a number of occasions” since last June.

The council said a test purchase on June 12 last year revealed pouches of counterfeit Amber Leaf hand-rolling tobacco were being sold. Last August an inspection of the premises led to vapes, tobacco and cigarettes being seized.
