Eighty percent of Glasgow vape shops have not provided current details
Nearly 80% of registered vape shops in Glasgow haven't updated their details with the Scottish Government, raising concerns about regulation and safety.Summary
A recent report reveals that approximately 80% of the over 1,200 vape shops registered in Glasgow have not provided current details to the Scottish Government, despite being considered “registered and compliant.” Regulators require these updates to maintain an accurate record. This issue has gained prominence following the devastating fire at Union Corner, believed to have originated in a vape shop that was also not officially registered. While fines of up to £20,000 can be levied for unregistered sales, enforcement currently focuses on underage sales and illicit products. The Scottish Government is now considering tightening regulations on vape shops, and calls have been made for a temporary sales halt pending a full investigation into safety risks.
