Display ban now in force for vape products

The ban came into force on 1 September

Retailers on the Isle of Man are now banned from displaying e-cigarettes and vaping products in store.

The ban came into force on 1 September.

Compliance checks are expected to be carried out going forward to ensure shops are meeting the new requirements.

Ahead of the legislation being switched on, the Office of Fair Trading said Trading Standards officers visited every retailer.

Advice was given on the types of cabinets, gantry systems and cupboards that can be used, as well as how to avoid unnecessary expenses.

No retailer indicated they would be unable to meet the deadline.
