## Resource

London’s vaping crackdown is faltering as budget cuts have left enforcement teams dangerously understaffed—some boroughs with just one officer covering everything. With teens increasingly turning to disposable vapes, retailers are cashing in while ignoring ID checks, and the new Tobacco and Vapes Act, meant to curb youth use, lacks teeth without properly funded Trading Standards teams. The solution? A multi-pronged strategy combining stricter regulations, plain packaging, and stronger local advocacy to protect kids before it’s too late.
