BBC England Data UnitImage caption, Paul Leighton helps to get illegal vapes off the streets
In the run-up to the ban, I spent a day in Newcastle with council officers carrying out checks at high street shops.
Senior Trading Standards officer Paul Leighton and his colleagues seize illicit vapes with tank sizes greater than 2ml, a nicotine strength of more than 20mg/ml or labels without manufacturer details and health warnings.
While disposable vapes aren't illegal yet, he says the majority of illegal vapes he finds happen to be single-use.
“Vaping’s been around for quite some time now and it’s only been a significant issue for us with the emergence of disposables,” he says.
Paul believes the change in the law will help to clamp down on the illegal trade in the longer term.
He says: “Once we’ve dealt with the sell through of illegal vapes that’s probably going to be kicking around after the ban, I think the majority of retailers will find themselves with compliant stock.”
