Check Your Responsibilities: A Vaping Regulations Guide for Retailers

Retailers Guide - Regulations for Nicotine Vaping Products and Tobacco Compliance in Scotland

One of the chief aims of SGF is to ensure that our members are fully aware of all the information they need to know to comply with the rules on age restricted products. SGF has recently updated our vaping product regulations guidebook, and we strongly recommend that retailers keep a copy handy in-store.

Throughout the guide, there is a particular focus on the responsibilities and actions which retailers must take to be compliant with legal requirements. We know that retailers will do everything they can to comply with these and continue their commitment to the responsible retailing of tobacco and NVPs.

This includes a clear breakdown of key issues such as age verification and complying to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations.

Trading Standard Scotland are presently carrying out spot checks and undercover shopper exercises to test for potential underage selling of vaping products across retail. Read the latest news coverage on this issue here.

SGF’s handy guide provides an overview of the key points, some need-to-know details and helpful contacts and links for going forward. Download the Regulations for Nicotine Vaping Products and Tobacco Compliance in Scotland - Retailer's Guide for more information.
