      Supposedly the vast majority of vape shops are fronts for other “businesses”.

      Vape shops are chosen because you can get a counter’s worth of inventory for far cheaper than pretty much any other product. The product is also small, so the actual space needed for the shop itself is very small, leaving more space for the “real” business.

    One street visited in the West Midlands was described as “lawless” by an anonymous law enforcement source.

    Aren’t you literally the person whose job it is to enforce laws?
