According to Newsandstar on November 9th, a 41-year-old British store owner, Leighton John Dodds, has been found guilty of continuing to sell illegal e-cigarettes after being warned, along with his company Cumbria Vapes Limited. They both face 18 charges.

 

Mr. Doe's sale of certain e-cigarettes with oversized specifications and excessively high nicotine content has violated the stringent regulations set by the Drug and Health Product Regulatory Authority for e-cigarettes.

 

British Trading Standards officials have confiscated a total of 106 non-compliant e-cigarettes.

Additionally, he will have to cover court costs of £1,000 and a victim surcharge of £190.

 

His company, Cumbria Vapes Limited, has been fined £8,000, in addition to £1,000 in court costs and £190 in victim surcharges.
