On October 22, according to foreign news reports, a trade standards officer in Aberdeen, a major city in Scotland, recently seized electronic cigarettes containing five times the legal limit of nicotine from a local store.

Because these products have the taste of fruit, mint and marshmallows, children may be attracted to these products, which causes people's concerns.

Electronic cigarettes are also made to look like highlighters and cosmetics.

Aberdeen’s trade standards officials have now seized a hideout worth £900 as part of a nationwide effort to remove unsafe products from shelves.

Stores in Aberdeen city centre have reported to trade standards officials that they have never needed to check the age of so many young customers requesting e-cigarettes before.

Some companies reported that young people tried to gather Geek and Elf Bar products for them by gathering outside stores and asking adults to buy them.

It is believed that these e-cigarettes are sold to teenagers.

Adults who buy e-cigarettes for underage teenagers will face an on-site fine of 200 pounds.

The Scottish government recently wrote to all retailers that sell equipment to encourage them to check whether there are dangerous products in their inventory.

Aberdeen’s trade standards officials are now contacting all distributors and stores in the city to ensure they fully understand the law or may face legal challenges.

Illegal products flood the market.

Inhaling products that contain more than 2% nicotine, which is an addictive chemical that makes it difficult to quit smoking, or inhaling more than 2 ml of liquid is illegal.

The task of the Trade Standards Officer is to ensure that customers do not unknowingly face the risk of using illegal products.

Products seized during Operation Aberdeen.

Aberdeen City Council Trade Standards Manager Graeme Paton (Graeme Paton) said: Illegal and counterfeit products flood the market, posing potential health risks to customers. Improperly branded products are also deliberately targeted at children.

"Parents may not realize that their children are using these unsafe devices-they are brightly colored, very similar to highlighters or cosmetics. They cost from £5 to £7 each."
