Edinburgh supermarkets to ban vapes as Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's issue crackdown

A host of supermarkets have banned the sale of a popular disposable vape due to a high percentage of nicotine e-liquid in a certain flavour.

Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco have taken action on the Elf Bar 600s, following concern regarding the legal compliance of the electronic cigarettes, reports The Independent. Due to this, in accordance with the UK's trading standards, the entire range has been banned from stores.

This news comes as the watermelon flavour of the Elf Bar 600, a product made by the Chinese electronic cigarette manufacturer, was found to have at least 50 per cent more than the legal limit for nicotine e-liquid.
