TWO shops in North Lanarkshire could be banned from selling tobacco and vaping products after illegally selling them to under-18s on several occasions.
After that, the owners and members of staff who made the sales were each handed a £600 fine, while Trading Standards will also apply for a banning order. “We want to make it clear that we will not tolerate retailers breaking the law and selling tobacco or nicotine vape products to anyone under the age of 18. Shop owners and staff have a responsibility to ask for proof of a customer’s age before making a sale, challenging anyone who looks under 25 years old.
Additionally, in an operation carried out by Trading Standards Officials earlier this month, 5,740 illegal cigarettes and a quantity of tobacco were seized from premises in Motherwell.
