UK's most vape-addicted counties named in worrying new figures
Alarming new data from experts have revealed the top 10 vape-addicted counties across the UK, with the Big Smoke ironically ranking seventh and a surprising English 'winner' The UK is in a strawberry-scented cloud chokehold, with one county being dubbed Britain's vape capital. Despite the government recently clamping down on vaping by banning single-use devices - many Brits are still hooked on their Lost Mary and Elf bars. Companies have adapted to the ban quickly, selling similar-priced devices with a single-use pod that can be taken out and replaced. While this is substantially better than exclusively flogging disposable vapes, it has sparked concern that these reusable devices will still be viewed as throwaway products - despite containing precious metals. After many Brits chose to stockpile on single-use vapes before the ban, it is predicted that millions of vapes will still be thrown away or littered every single week. But, which counties are the worst culprits when it comes to sucking on these insatiably popular devices? Well, a new report by Vape Ease UK has mapped out the country's nicotine addiction after analysing data on the number of vape shops in each area, as well as the percentage of adult vapers, and how often locals are Googling the word 'vape'. Lancashire, located in North West England, was named and shamed as Britain's vape capital, with a whopping 40 vape shops per 100,000 people in the region of Accrington. Vape Ease UK states the adult vaping rate in the region is around eight to nine per cent, while the search interest for 'vape' is 'massive'. "From Blackburn to Burnley, vaping is part of daily life — and Accrington leads the UK in per-person vape shop access," the experts said in a statement sent to the Mirror. Following a close second is Greater Manchester - with 33 vape shops per 100,000 residents in Bolton and 26 shops per 100,000 residents in Stockport. "Seven out of the UK's top 15 vaping hotspots are in Greater Manchester," the pros added. "Vape shops are everywhere, and locals are constantly Googling e-liquids and devices. It's a true vape stronghold." UK's most vape-addicted counties - the full list Lancashire Greater Manchester North East (Durham and Teeside) West Yorkshire West Midlands Northern Ireland Greater London South Wales Devon Nottinghamshire While vaping was long touted as a better alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes, research has started to shed light on just how bad vapes are for the body. As previously reported, these fruit-flavoured devices can still increase the risk of a slew of diseases including dementia, heart disease and organ failure. The biggest risk with vaping seems to be its ubiquitous nature. As Dr Boidin points out: "Smokers tend to go outside and smoke, and once a cigarette is finished they have to light up another to keep going. "But with vapes, you just keep going and it's much harder to know how many puffs you've had. It's much easier to vape continuously because you can do it in places where smoking might be less acceptable."

What's So Special About Lost Mary Vape Flavors?
If you've been vaping for a while, you've probably noticed that after a few uses, most flavors start to feel the same. They lose that spark and blend into one another. However, Lost Mary changes that. These vapes bring a fresh twist that's easy to notice and even easier to enjoy. The flavors are bold, layered, and full of personality, unlike the basic vapes available in the market. So, what exactly makes Lost Mary vape flavors in Colorado Springs, CO, different? Let's find out! Some vape brands throw together sweet notes and hope for the best. Lost Mary takes its time. When you take a puff, the taste doesn't hit all at once. It rolls in gradually. You might start with a soft hit, then something fruitier sneaks in a second later. The overall taste is smooth, not fake or too strong. It almost feels like the flavor was built in stages, as if someone paid attention when mixing it, rather than just tossing in a bunch of sweet ingredients and hoping it works. For example, when the Pineapple Apple Pear doesn't give off one generic fruit taste. First, you'll notice the taste of crisp and light apple, then the pear kind of settles in behind it. The pineapple? It's there too, tying the whole thing together without being overwhelming. Have you ever tried a vape flavour like 'Berry Storm' or 'Fruity Chill', only to find it tastes more like bathroom spray than anything real? It's frustrating when the name sounds exciting, but the flavor misses the mark completely. However, Lost Mary vape flavors don't do that, tasting exactly the way you'd expect. For example: Watermelon Ice actually tastes like cold, juicy watermelon, not a fake candy version. Pineapple Apple Pear gives you all three fruits in layers you can pick out. Blue Cotton Candy is sweet, but not sticky-sweet. Lost Mary releases new flavors pretty often. However, instead of just adding new names, they bring in fresh combinations that don't feel recycled. Here are a few you might not expect: Strawberry Sundae: A soft and creamy mix, like a dessert without the heaviness A soft and creamy mix, like a dessert without the heaviness Triple Mango: Rich, full, and deep without being too sharp Rich, full, and deep without being too sharp Cool Mint Lemonade: Crisp and refreshing, with a tiny twist of citrus You know how some vape flavors taste like they were made for kids? Like someone melted a candy store and turned it into vapor? That can become boring very fast, even if it tastes okay at first. That's why Lost Mary vape flavors in Colorado Springs, CO, go in a smarter direction. They still feel sweet and satisfying, but don't cross the line into being sickly or fake. It's more of a natural sweetness, something you can enjoy without feeling like you're chewing on bubble gum. Moreover, even if you use the same flavor all day, it doesn't start to wear you down. You don't feel like your tongue is coated in syrup, and your mouth stays fresh instead of sticky. That's why these flavors are easier to stick with. Take a long draw from a Lost Mary, and you'll notice how easy it feels on your throat. There's no sharp edge, no scratchy sensation that makes you want to stop halfway. The vapor moves smoothly both in and out, even when the flavor has a cooler twist. It's not just about the first puff either. You can use it throughout the day without harming your throat. This soft, balanced flow makes a big difference, especially if you like to vape during breaks or after meals. Even the chillier flavors like Peach Ice or Blueberry Ice don't leave behind that dry feeling in the throat. That means you won't need to swap flavors constantly just to give yourself a break! Lost Mary doesn't just make good flavors, they wrap them in names that catch your eye. It's a small thing, but it adds to the fun. Instead of generic names like 'Menthol' or 'Mixed Berries,' you get: Cherry Peach Lemonade : Bright, tangy, and playful : Bright, tangy, and playful Triple Mango : Bold and juicy : Bold and juicy Blue Razz Ice: Cool and nostalgic These names stick with you, making you curious to try something new. It's part of the brand's charm, and it works! Lost Mary vape flavors in Colorado Springs, CO, stand out because they just feel more thought-out. The taste is consistent, the blends make sense, and the names actually match what you get. Even the device feels like it's created to make vaping easier.

FDA cracks down as illegal flavored vapes flood American shelves
LONDON/NEW YORK/CHICAGO: In suburban Chicago, just 15 minutes from O'Hare International Airport, a small customs brokerage quietly became a major player in a booming underground market: helping unauthorized Chinese-made vapes reach American shelves. According to a Reuters analysis, the firm, run by Jay Kim, handled 60 percent of all U.S. vape and vape-part shipments from China registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2024. Speaking from his office in April, Kim claimed, "A lot of them have FDA authorization." But FDA data tells a different story, revealing shipments included banned brands like Lost Mary and Geek Bar. The FDA has classified these products as illegal to import or sell, warning that their fruity, candy-like flavors appeal to children. Health officials say nicotine can harm developing brains, impairing attention, learning, and mood in teens, who are particularly vulnerable to addiction. While a spokesperson for Lost Mary denied links to Kim's firm and argued that flavored vapes help adults quit smoking, the maker of Geek Bar declined to comment. The illicit pipeline begins in Shenzhen, China—the world's vape capital. Chinese customs recorded over US$3.6 billion worth of vape exports to the U.S. in 2024, but U.S. customs data reflected just $333 million in imports. Experts say a 90 percent discrepancy is far beyond normal and signals that many shipments are misdeclared or misvalued. According to the FDA, illegal vapes are often disguised as unrelated goods—like toys or shoes—to slip through customs. Reuters' investigation, drawing on data, regulator interviews, and insider accounts, traced a network of U.S.-based middlemen—customs brokers, importers, and distributors—who help funnel these products into the country, sometimes taking steps to avoid detection. In February, authorities seized $34 million worth of unauthorized vapes in Chicago. The shipments used vague product descriptions and incorrect declared values. That same month, the FDA sent letters to 24 middlemen in the vape supply chain—importers and brokers—warning them that making false statements is a crime and asking how they ensure compliance with tobacco laws. Reuters could not confirm if Kim received such a letter. He did not respond to detailed questions about the shipments his firm handled. Kim claimed he exited the vape business last year and said a former employee had introduced him to vape clients, then took those customers when she left. However, FDA records show vape shipments tied to his firm continued well into 2025. Customs brokers don't sell or buy goods themselves—they manage import paperwork for clients. But failing to perform due diligence could put them in legal jeopardy, said Lenny Feldman, a partner at trade law firm Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg. The network remains elusive. Six of the top ten U.S. recipients of vape shipments in 2024 were little-known companies formed in the past two years, some operating from residential homes with no public web presence or contact details. At one such house in north Chicago, a woman told Reuters the address had no link to the vape business. New York Attorney General Letitia James filed lawsuits in February against 13 U.S. vape distributors, accusing them of working directly with Chinese manufacturers to flood the market with illegal flavored products. "All have engaged in reprehensible, illegal conduct and aim to addict youth to their products," the complaint said. Former FDA official Mitch Zeller echoed that view. "There's only a handful of middlemen... responsible for getting [illegal vapes] into interstate commerce," he said. Despite FDA approval for just 34 vaping products—none of them flavored—unauthorized devices now account for an estimated 70 percent of U.S. vape sales, worth over $8 billion last year. U.S. officials say they're stepping up enforcement, including using AI to track suspect shipments. But for now, the supply chain that feeds the nation's youth nicotine habit continues to operate, primarily in plain sight.

How Chinese vapes slip past US border checks to end up in kids' hands
Millions of unauthorised Chinese-made vapes are entering the US market, often disguised, creating a significant black market supply chain. US customs brokers and distributors are identified as key middlemen facilitating the import and distribution of these illegal e-cigarettes, with lax oversight from the FDA drawing criticism. The widespread availability of flavoured vapes, despite FDA efforts to ban them for appealing to children, contributes to concerns about youth addiction and poses a challenge for regulatory authorities. NEW YORK, June 24 — From an office a 15-minute drive from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, one small firm helped import millions of unauthorized Chinese-made vapes last year alone, forming a key link in the supply chain feeding US demand for illegal e-cigarettes. In a little over four years, the firm, a customs brokerage run by a man named Jay Kim, became a go-to broker for the Chinese vape industry. The firm worked on 60 per cent of all shipments of vapes and vape parts from China to the US in 2024 registered by the Food and Drug Administration, according to a Reuters analysis. 'A lot of them have FDA authorisation,' Kim said in an interview in his office in April, referring to the vape shipments his firm handled. However, FDA data on imports into the US of FDA-regulated goods such as tobacco products or medicines showed the products Kim's firm helped bring into the United States included unauthorised brands like Lost Mary and Geek Bar. The FDA has declared those brands illegal to import or sell, warning their array of fruit and candy flavours may appeal to children. The agency says nicotine can harm developing brains, and impact attention, learning and mood in young people, who can get hooked more easily on the addictive chemical. A Lost Mary spokesperson said it had no connection or contact with Kim's firm, and flavors play a key role in helping adult users quit smoking. The maker of Geek Bar did not respond to a request for comment. The Chinese city of Shenzhen is the biggest source of vapes, both legal and illegal, coming into the United States. In 2024, China exported more than 26 billion yuan (RM15 billion) in vapes to the US, according to Chinese customs data. But US customs figures show only US$333 million in Chinese vapes were officially received in the US that same year. Mismatches in custom data between the US and its trading partners are not uncommon, but a 90 per cent gap was unusual, two customs data specialists told Reuters. Unauthorised vapes often arrive in the US disguised as other items like shoes and toys, according to the FDA, which leads efforts to control the vape market. Reuters used FDA and US customs data, interviews with vape and tobacco industry insiders, and information from US regulators and law enforcement to build a picture of how unauthorized vapes make their way onto US shelves. It found a group of middlemen based on US soil – including some customs brokers and distributors – who played key roles in the vape supply chain, and sometimes take steps to avoid detection. Trump Administration officials have promised a crackdown; FDA Commissioner Marty Makary has said the agency will stop illegal imports and distribution. 'Our borders have been far too porous when it comes to challenges like illegal e-cigarette products coming from other countries,' an FDA spokesperson said, adding that the agency is planning to use artificial intelligence to 'stem the flow of products that are appealing to our nation's children.' In May, the FDA and Customs and Border Protection announced a US$34 million seizure of unauthorized vapes in Chicago. Officials found many of the shipments in the seizure, which took place in February, contained vague product descriptions and incorrect values. As part of the operation, for the first time, the agency sent letters to 24 middlemen involved in the vape supply chain, including US importers and customs brokers. The letters warned the middlemen it was a crime to make false statements to the government, and asked them to explain how they ensured they followed tobacco laws, according to the FDA. Reuters was not able to establish whether Kim was among the customs brokers who received a letter from the FDA. He did not respond to detailed questions about Reuters' findings.

Rather, they are paid by others, usually the importer, to help navigate the customs process by submitting documents and fielding enquiries from border officials, according to Lenny Feldman, a managing partner at the law firm Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg. Customs brokers may be breaking the law if they are found to have not conducted proper due diligence, said Feldman. Speaking briefly to Reuters at his office in April, Kim said his firm did not deal with vape shipments any more after exiting the business last year. He said that a former employee of his firm had gotten him into working with vape clients and took those customers with her when she left. However, the FDA data reviewed by Reuters showed that vape-related shipments handled by Kim have continued throughout 2025, including in June. The FDA, which was directed to fire 3,500 employees in March, works with CBP to catch unauthorised vape shipments at the border. A spokesperson for CBP told Reuters the agency seized over 3 million units of illegal vapes valued at US$76 million in 2024. 'CBP has encountered bad actors exploiting shipments to transit illicit goods, including illegal vapes, synthetic opioids, precursor chemicals and related paraphernalia,' the spokesperson said. The FDA said that over the past two years, efforts by FDA and CBP had led to the seizure of around 7.1 million e-cigarettes with an estimated retail value of over US$136 million. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the administration would 'wipe out' fruity and sweet flavored vapes from China that appeal to kids. 'We are going to get rid of all of them,' he told the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions in May. Illinois Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi said middlemen like Kim bear some responsibility for the flood of vapes, but lays most of the blame with the FDA, which he accuses of sitting idle while illegal vapes flood into the country. 'The FDA is a disaster. It's asleep at the switch,' he said. 'You have illicit vapes all over the place.'

Vape shipments recorded by the FDA collapsed in May, with a shortage of popular brand Geek Bar in particular. The FDA has authorized 34 different vape products made by companies like British American Tobacco and Altria , but no fruity or sweet flavoured vapes that the FDA says could appeal to children. And yet executives at BAT estimate unauthorised devices make up 70 per cent of vape sales in the US, valuing their sales at US$8.14 billion last year. The supply chain ferrying illegal Chinese-made vapes into the US mostly operates in plain sight. It starts with a network of exporters based in China. After a vape shipment clears customs in the US, it is passed along to its US buyer – usually a distributor, which then sells them to smaller wholesalers and retailers nationwide. The FDA collects data on US-based recipients of vape shipments. The largest in 2024 was Reynolds American, the US subsidiary of BAT. But the top ten largest US vape recipients also included six obscure firms, opened in 2023 or 2024 and sometimes operating out of residential homes. The second-largest recipient of vape shipments in 2024 was a Chicago-based company called Somo Trade LLC, established in 2023, Reuters analysis of FDA data and state business filings show. A woman at the business' address, a residential home on Chicago's north side, told a Reuters reporter that the property was not involved in the vape business. Another recipient of vapes, Rongda Trade, is registered to a house on the same street as Somo Trade, opened the same month, and has already been shut down, its filings show. No one answered the door when Reuters visited the address. No one answered at a residential address linked to Lila Trade on Chicago's southwest side, either. The name of the registered agent, Xiaohong Dai, was not among those listed on four mailboxes out front. Reuters could not find websites for any of the firms, and their state business filings did not contain any contact information. Meanwhile, in February, New York Attorney General Letitia James sued 13 different companies which she said were major US vape distributors, accusing them of working closely with Chinese manufacturers to fuel the unauthorised vape industry. 'Together, Defendants have established an industry for flavoured e-cigarettes, particularly disposable vapes, and staked out their own lucrative shares in the soaring market,' the complaint states. 'All have engaged in reprehensible, illegal conduct and aim to addict youth to their products.' Mitch Zeller, former head of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products during the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations, placed the blame on US-based distributors, such as those named in James' lawsuit, for feeding demand. 'There's only a handful of middlemen, middle companies, that are responsible for taking the illegal, imported stuff being misclassified and mislabelled and getting it into interstate commerce,' he said. — Reuters
