Tooting shop fined 7,000 for selling vapes and alcohol to children
Briefly

World Superstore Limited in Tooting, London, faced fines after selling alcohol and vapes to children in school uniform multiple times. The shop lost its alcohol license, caught selling vapes to a 15-year-old, and had oversized vapes with illegal nicotine levels.
Despite claiming to be proactive in preventing underage sales, the company had no documented training records. The shop lacked awareness of vape regulations since 2016, leading to fines totaling over £3,500 for the offenses.
Wandsworth Council's Trading Standards representative emphasized the seriousness of selling vapes to minors, highlighting the need for compliance with regulations. The hefty financial penalty aimed to deter other businesses from irresponsibly selling harmful products to children.
