Investigation into shops selling vapes to teenagers
The Journal
|May 19, 2025
FOUR North Tyneside businesses are under investigation over selling nicotine vapes to teenagers.
-
This comes after a test-purchase operation led by the borough council's trading standards team, with the help of undercover police cadets aged 15 and 16.
The cadets were used to attempt to buy age-restricted vapes - which should only be sold to over-18s.
Eight shops were visited and four failed the test by allowing the youngsters to buy disposable vapes and an e-liquid without showing any ID.
Businesses found to be in breach of these laws may face enforcement action, including closure orders or prosecution.
