From the 1st of October 2015, a law was implemented that bans the sale of ecigarettes ,refill containers and nicotine containing eliquids as described in the Tobacco Products Directive to all individuals under the age of 18. This legislation includes both “Brick & Mortar” stores and online retailers.
The penalty in the United Kingdom for selling to any person under the age of 18 is a fine up to £2500.

We’re proud to have an age verification system in place which conforms to both international laws regarding the sale of age restricted products and also data privacy legislation such as GDPR.
