ELFBAR manufacturer calls for vape shops in Scotland to be licensed
ELFBAR urges Scotland to license vape shops to curb illegal sales and prevent fires.Summary
ELFBAR, a major e-cigarette manufacturer, has called for a compulsory licensing scheme for vape shops in Scotland to address safety concerns and illegal trade. This follows the revelation of over 40 vape-related fires in the country in the last five years, including one that destroyed a landmark building in Glasgow. The proposal, supported by the UK Vaping Industry Association and the Scottish Grocers Federation, aims to give local authorities the power to revoke licences from rogue traders. The scheme would be funded by licence fees and fines, and would require all premises to be inspected by council officials. Currently, shops only need to register with the Scottish Tobacco and Nicotine Vapour Product Retailer Register.
