Dear Ella, 
 
Your request for information, reference number FOI-202311000924,  has now
been considered and the information requested is given below.
 
Information Request
 
I’m getting in touch with an FOI request as I would like to receive
information on the following questions for your local authority area,
spanning the past 5 years in total up to the latest available data.
 
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I wish to request the following
information:
 
- How many units of e-cigarettes/vaping devices/e-liquid goods were
seized? - How many units of cigarette packs were seized?
- The number of identified cases of illegal vaping products being in
possession of, stocked, or sold by businesses
- How many fines or penalties have been issued for being in possession of,
stocking, or selling illegal vapes?
- What was the value in £ pound sterling of each fine issued by your local
authority?
 
Please present this data annually for each of the below periods:
1st January 2023 > 1st November 2023
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. Please note: if you are unable to retrieve 5 years of data for
the above-requested information within the available FOI cost limit,
please reduce the number of years to the last 3 years, or as far back as
possible, to the latest available date.
