What assessment has the Minister made of the extent of the issue of the illegal vapes market in Wales, considering the funding allocated by the Welsh Government to Trading Standards Wales for combatting it?

Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing
I have made available a grant of £145,250 in this financial year to aid efforts to tackle illegal vapes in Wales. The level of funding was informed by discussions with Trading Standards Wales. The funding will be used to seize, store and analyse illegal vapes, and to support the training and development of enforcement staff in every Local Authority in the country. This will allow us to continue to build a picture of the extent and nature of illegal vape sales in Wales.
