According to local UK media, Stoke has reported that the Stoke-on-Trent Trading Standards Office conducted a raid and prohibited a shop, leading to the seizure of a substantial quantity of illegal tobacco products.
Last week, the Stoke Trent City Council team conducted an on-site testing operation in the Longton business district, targeting the purchase of tobacco products by young people. Two 15-year-old boys managed to purchase the R&M Tornado 9000 disposable e-cigarette, despite stating their age. However, the store salesperson still proceeded with the sale.
The e-cigarette liquid purchased this time has a significantly larger capacity, 15 times the legal limit of 2 milliliters in the UK.
After the sale, regulatory authorities inspected the store and discovered a large quantity of illegal tobacco products and e-cigarettes, with an estimated value of £50,000. They have since seized all of them.
In the seized tobacco products and e-cigarettes, there were 11 counterfeit cigarette products found, including untaxed products, non-standard packaging, and products with incorrect health warnings. Additionally, 7 different types of disposable e-cigarettes were also confiscated, which were oversized and had inaccurate health warning labels on the packaging.
