Illegal vapes and cigarettes taken off the streets in Torquay


We recently seized over £7,800 worth of suspected illegal tobacco, cigarettes and vapes in Torquay.

Working together with Trading Standards, we were able to haul in a total of illicit tobacco products, including a total of 333 packs of cigarettes and 119 pouches of tobacco. We also seized 266 non-UK compliant vapes.

This seizure was a really positive outcome for the community because:
 

  • Illegal goods aren’t regulated
  • They don’t go through the usual safety procedures required by law in the UK (which are in place to keep you safe)
  • It also means we don’t know what’s in them
  • If you want to report any concerns of illegal tobacco or vapes, please contact Trading Standards: tradingstandards@devon.gov.uk

    Please continue to report to the police if you know something about a crime, or see something that doesn't look right. Thank you.
