UK to require licences for tobacco and vape sales to curb youth access and illegal trade.
The UK government proposes requiring shops to obtain a licence to sell tobacco, vapes, and nicotine products to combat illegal sales and protect children.
The new licensing system, part of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, aims to end the current lack of oversight, which has allowed rogue traders to sell youth-targeted, candy-like vapes.
Violators could face unlimited fines or £2,500 penalties.
The plan includes banning vaping advertising, regulating flavours, packaging, and in-store displays, with expert input sought on key details.
A future consultation will address smoke-free and vape-free zones.
Public health advocates and local councils support the move, stressing the need for practical, well-funded enforcement that protects youth while preserving access for adult smokers seeking to quit.
