BBC correspondent David Wallace Lockhart travels to Greenock, the town centre with the highest density of shops registered to sell vapes per head of population in Scotland.
New figures from the University of Edinburgh, shared exclusively with BBC News, highlight the growth of outlets selling vapes in Scotland.
With no licensing regime, a retailer simply has to register on a Scottish government online portal and then they can stock these products.
In 2020, there were 5,573 shops selling vapes in Scotland. By 2024, that was up to 7,069 – an increase of 28%.
This growth of 1,500 outlets has not been even across the country. It’s concentrated in the most deprived communities.
