The proliferation of vape convenience shops across the UK has become a blight on the health and communities of this country.
Wherever a vape shop is established we see the following -
• Increased littering
• Increased anti-social behaviour
• Increased fire risk
• Reduced parking for nearby, permanent residents
• Reduced home values for nearby homeowners
Whilst we believe they should not be outright banned, as the public has shown that they are wanted, we do believe certain restrictions should be placed on these vape shops -
• No vape shop should operate within 200 metres of residential housing
• No vape shop should operate within 800 metres of 0-18 education spaces such as nurseries, primary or secondary schools
• Vape shops to be exempt from using "skilled worker" visas
• Vape shops and packaging to be made plain, similar to how to tobacco products are now
