flag Illegal vape shops in Worcestershire are driving youth vaping, prompting crackdowns and a generational tobacco ban.

flag Public health officials in Worcestershire warn that illegal vape shops, especially convenience stores, are fueling underage vaping, with NHS data showing 25% of children aged 11 to 15 have tried vaping and nearly 10% use it regularly. flag Despite declining adult smoking rates, rogue retailers selling unregulated, potentially harmful devices remain a challenge due to weak enforcement and low penalties. flag Authorities have secured closure orders against repeat offenders and are pushing for more trading standards resources. flag A new generational tobacco ban, excluding those born on or after January 1, 2009, from purchasing tobacco, is seen as a key preventive step. flag Health leaders are also developing tools to help parents and teachers discuss vaping with youth and support quitting.
