Shops found to be flouting single-use vape ban

Despite the UK ban on the sale of single-use disposable vapes, many shops in Yorkshire are openly flouting the law by continuing to sell these illicit items. The bright-colored packaging and fruity flavors of single-use vapes were identified as a driving force behind the youth vaping surge, leading to the government's decision to implement the ban to protect children's health and the environment. Shopkeepers in several Yorkshire cities were found selling these banned vapes, risking fines and even jail time, while other regulated traders refused to break the law.
