Gary Walker, Glasgow City Council's Head of Community Safety and Regulatory Services, said: “Vapes and e-cigarettes are extremely popular at the moment and sales have risen to meet that demand, but the number of complaints that Trading Standards are receiving has also risen.There are also age restrictions on the sale of vapes.
“Trading Standards also carry out unannounced test purchases with young volunteers to check that retailers are not selling prohibited products to anyone underage.”
