More than 1,000 disposable vapes have been seized across Wales despite it being illegal to sell them, an ITV Cymru Wales investigation has found.
Data gathered from Freedom of Information requests and local authorities show that 1,383 single-use vapes have been seized by trading standards departments across Wales since the ban came in two months ago.
Since 1 June this year, the Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (Wales) Regulations 2024 make it a criminal offence to supply a single-use vape in Wales.
