According to a report published by Quest, some businesses in Andover, UK, have been found to not fully comply with legal regulations when selling e-cigarettes and alcohol.
The operation involving a teenager attempting to purchase e-cigarettes was handled by the Andover Community Policing Team. In the United Kingdom, it is illegal to sell e-cigarettes and alcoholic products to minors. The legal age for purchasing such items is 18 years old.
The police have indicated that they have noticed the presence of illegal sales of e-cigarettes and alcohol to young people in the surrounding shops. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of the youth, it is imperative to prevent them from being able to purchase these items.
During a simulated buying operation conducted in the downtown area of Andover City, law enforcement authorities collaborated with the police youth corps and discovered that underage youths under the age of 18 were able to purchase e-cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.
During the operation, the police have identified areas for improvement in two stores and have taken "appropriate measures" in response.
