BBC je na skrivaj obiskal britanske prodajalne e-cigaret: Številne trgovine še vedno prodajajo izdelke za enkratno uporabo

According to a field investigation by a BBC journalist, nearly two weeks after the British government imposed a one-time ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes, several stores in Yorkshire were still openly selling the prohibited goods. Among the 21 stores that the journalist secretly visited, nearly half ignored the ban and continued to sell brightly colored fruit-flavored electronic cigarettes - these products had been identified by the British government kot "ključni dejavnik v porastu stopnje najstniškega kajenja" .
The current Labour government of the UK has continued the ban policy of the previous government. Since June 1st this year, the sale of one-time electronic cigarettes has been officially banned, aiming to protect children's health and reduce environmental burdens. According to the new regulations, offending merchants will face a fine of 200 pounds, and repeat offenders may face criminal prosecution.
However, the journalist discovered that in places such as Sheffield, Bradford, York and Leeds, some shops defied the ban. In stores in Yorkshire, colorful packaged electronic cigarettes were still prominently displayed on the shelves, and the shopkeepers not only actively promoted them but also offered them at discounted prices. One shopkeeper admitted, "I know it's Nezakonito, vendar želim samo razčistiti svoje zaloge . "Opozoril je na inventar v oknu in rekel:" Pod prepoved jih ne moremo več prodati ., ko jih bom prodal, ko jih prodam vse . "
It is worth noting that the ban was announced as early as last October, and merchants had a 7-month transition period to clear their inventories. Data from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of the UK shows that the use of electronic cigarettes in England increased by more than four times between 2012 and 2023, and currently about 9% of the population consumes electronic cigarettes. Vlada je poudarila, da enkratne elektronske cigarete ne povzročajo le nikotinske odvisnosti med najstniki, ampak povzročajo tudi onesnaževanje na ulicah . Tiskovni predstavnik oddelka je poudaril: "Zato smo sprejeli stroge ukrepe, da bi jih prepovedali ."
Med preiskavo tajne preiskave so nekateri trgovci prodali tudi "pakete super vrednosti" novinarju . za 20 kilogramov, lahko bi kupili polno vrečko nezakonitih elektronskih cigaret, poleg tega pa so prikazali tudi različne izdelke, ki jih je sadno okusil v steklenih omarah ., v prodaji okrožja North Yorkshire, ki pod nadzorom pod nadzorom, ki so bili pod nadzorom, pod nadzorom sveta Severne Yorkshire, ki so bili pod nadzorom, ki so bili pod nadzorom okrožja Severni v Blago . Predstavnik sveta za okoljske zadeve, Greg White, je izrazil razočaranje nad nezakonitim vedenjem trgovin v sosednjih okrožjih: "Trgovci so imeli dovolj časa za preoblikovanje elektronskih cigaret za večkratno uporabo, kar bi dejansko lahko spodbudilo njihovo poslovanje ."
Tiskovni predstavnik oddelka za okolje, hrano in podeželske zadeve v Veliki Britaniji je trdno izjavil: "Nezakoniti operaterji se bodo soočili s hudimi kaznimi, vključno s kazenskimi ovadbami ."
