Request:
I am submitting a Freedom of Information request. I am looking to receive

 1. How many units of vapes were seized in your local authority?
 2. How many units of cigarette packs were seized in your local authority?
 3. 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 2023 > 31st Feb 2023
1st January 2022 > 31st Dec 2022
1st January 2021 > 31st Dec 2021
