There is high demand for vapes at the moment
Shop sellers in Nottingham say there is a "high demand" for disposable vapes and e-cigarettes - which have soared in popularity in the past couple of years. Only last year, hundreds of illegal vapes were seized during an operation in Nottingham.
In less than two hours we picked up 11 vapes, one small liquid bottle and 17 empty boxes that were just thrown on the street. We also spotted two more vapes dumped near Tesco Express on Shakespeare Street. Elux legends are illegal in the UK as the devices do not abide by TPD regulations. The devices contain more than 20 mg/ml of nicotine and hold more than 2ml of liquid. Yet we found three of these vapes, and four empty boxes.
He added: "I think it would be a good idea to have a bin in the store where people can just throw them when they are done. I think that littering is bad, and it does not matter if it is a vape or something else - it is equally as bad. The worker, who wished to remain anonymous, looked at our bag and said: "It is disgusting. I sometimes spend the morning picking up boxes of the vapes outside shop. People just buy them, open them outside the store and throw them away. Sometimes we have people opening them in the shop, and they ask us if we can bin the packaging for them which is something that I am happy to do."
