The girl visited the stores as part of an investigation into how easy it is for children to buy vapes
The 17-year-old girl was sold a £5 Elf Bar in Walmersley Food & Booze, in Walmersley Road, and at the Nisa Local, in Parkhills Road, without being questioned.
Without being asked her age or for ID, she bought a £4.99 Elf Bar at the One Stop convenience store in Shadsworth, a £6 version at the Best-One on Rothesay Road, and a £15 7,000-puff vape at Vapers Avenue. Another shop told Abi they had sold out of Elf Bars and two others asked for ID and refused to serve her.
And a 16-year-old boy was sold a £4.50 apple peach Elf Bar at the Sam Mart convenience store in Bristol Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham, despite saying he did not have proof of age on him. Staff told him to bring ID next time. Six other shops turned the teen down. He said: “Marketing vaping, an addictive product, with… unknown consequences for developing minds, to children is utterly unacceptable.”
