UK Store Close for Three Months Due to Sale of Nicotine Vapes to Minors
According to a report by Birmingham Mail, a shop in South Road Stourbridge, UK, has been ordered to remain closed for three months due to the sale of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes to underage individuals and the failure to address concerns raised by local government.
According to a report from the Trading Standards Bureau, shop owners Rebar Salar and Saman Mehmud have been found to have sold e-cigarette products to children on two separate occasions. Earlier this summer, the shop was ordered to close, and officials have also discovered illegal cigarettes and e-cigarette products multiple times. However, despite the closure, the owners have not taken any actions to comply with trading standards, proving their commitment to operating a legal business.
Despite the objections from both owners, the court has instructed them that the store will remain closed for an additional three months until January 10, 2024.
In October, the committee's licensing committee also considered reviewing the application for a liquor license at the store, in accordance with trade standards. Additionally, the alcohol sales license of the store was revoked to protect children from harm.
