last decade, or as far back as possible within this time frame.

How many units of vapes were seized in your local authority?

How many units of cigarette packs were seized in your local authority?

How many units of hand-rolled tobacco products were seized in your local
authority?

Could this data be presented annually for each of the below time periods?
These are as follows:

1st January 2022 > 31st Dec 2022
1st January 2021 > 31st Dec 2021
1st January 2020 > 31st Dec 2020
1st January 2019 > 31st Dec 2019

If you could send the information over in a csv or xlsx format, that would
be ideal.
 
We are dealing with your request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000  and we aim to send a response by 20 April 2023.
 
In some case, a fee may be payable. If we decide a fee is payable, we will
send you a fee notice and we will require you to pay the fee before
proceeding with your request.
 
The Freedom of Information Act 2000  may restrict the release of some or
all of the information you have requested. We will carry out an assessment
and if any exemptions  apply to some or all of the information then we
might not provide that information to you. We will inform you if this is
the case and advise you of your rights to request an internal review and
to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
 
We will also advise you if we cannot provide you with the information
requested for any other reason together with the reason(s) why and details
of how you may appeal (if appropriate).
 
Yours faithfully
