Only allow licensed / actual vape shops to sell disposable vapes.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

We as dedicated vape shops owners would like the UK government to allow single use vapes to only be sold in actual vape shops, and stop the sale of them in corner shops and convenient shops.
Nearly all convenience stores are selling illegal, non TPD regulated products to the public. These are harmful products and are putting a bad reputation on vaping.

Not only are they selling these bad products, they are also being sold to underage young people… the main problem associated with vaping at the moment.

We as licensed vape shops also provide recycling bins for the batteries inside disposable vapes, reducing their carbon footprint. Other ‘off licence’ stores do NOT bother with this.
