Illegal vape products worth thousands of pounds have been seized during an operation across Nottingham. Trading Standards officers in the city bagged up hundreds of vaping products - some of which contain five times the legal amount of nicotine and e-liquid.
The branded vape bars collected have a street value close to £8,000. The operation involved eight separate premises across the city, although they have not been named.
The average vape product carried up to 1,500 uses – the equivalent of smoking more than 50 cigarettes. One particular brand of the disposable, single-use vapes seized was equal to more than 100 cigarettes.
