Under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, it is illegal to sell vaping products to anyone under the age of 18. In-store, retailers must check photographic ID for any customer who appears under 25. Acceptable forms include a passport, driving licence, or PASS-accredited proof of age card.
Failure to comply can result in an unlimited fine, suspension of trading, or a criminal record. Local authority trading standards teams conduct regular underage test purchases, and repeat violations lead to escalating penalties.
TrackElf's compliance checklist includes an age verification training record, so you can demonstrate to inspectors that your staff are trained.
