UNITED KINGDOM
Up to 60% of disposable vapes in the UK are illicit

Up to 60 per cent of disposable vape products currently being sold in the UK are illicit, according to industry estimates, reports ConvenieceStore.
The UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) estimates that between 40 and 60 per cent of disposable vapes currently on sale in the country either do not comply with domestic laws or are counterfeit. “Based on the amount of [illicit] products I see in the marketplace, the number of reports of illicit sales and what’s being reported to trading standards, I believe it’s that big, and a huge concern,” director general John Dunne was quoted as saying. “I probably receive between 200 and 400 reports of illegal sellers in the UK every month. All of all of whom are sent over to MHRA and trading standards for enforcement.”
He warned that non-compliance amongst retailers could destroy a category with big potential. “This is a market that has huge growth potential for retailers, if it’s allowed grow in a responsible manner, but having a short-term view and ignoring compliance is going to have a detrimental effect. And potentially lead to things like the category being banned, flavour bans or plain packaging.”
Dunne advised retailers unsure about what products to stock to consult the available guides, including those on the UKVIA website.
