Cheetham Hill, Manchester, has rapidly become known as Britain’s “vape capital,” boasting over 50 e-cigarette shops concentrated along just two streets: Harris Street and Overbridge Road. This surge in vape businesses has raised concerns among residents regarding the legitimacy of the shops and potential health risks associated with unregulated products. The area previously housed numerous counterfeit clothing shops, but following a police crackdown – Operation Vulcan in 2022 – which shut down hundreds of illegal stores and seized nearly 400,000 vapes, vape wholesalers moved in to fill the void.
