Shops flouting planned UK disposable vape ban need harsher fines, LGA says

Proposed £100 charge could be seen as a price worth paying to continue to sell the products

Firms flouting the proposed ban on disposable vapes should face harsher fines to deter unscrupulous businesses, the Local Government Association (LGA) has said.

Under the government’s plans, businesses caught selling disposable vapes once the ban is in place could be given a fixed-penalty notice of £100 by their local council.
