Youth Protection Policy
At Vape Superstore, we are dedicated to promoting the responsible use of nicotine products and protecting young people from accessing them. As a responsible retailer, we comply with all relevant laws and regulations regarding the sale of nicotine products and work proactively to prevent underage usage. This policy outlines our commitment to age verification, community education, and maintaining a safe environment for everyone.
Strict Age Verification
We have implemented a stringent age verification process to ensure that all our customers are legally eligible to purchase nicotine products. Our system requires that all customers provide proof of age before completing a purchase. We work with trusted third-party age verification services to carry out these checks and ensure full compliance with the UK’s Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR). This verification process is mandatory for all online orders of age-restricted products, including e-liquids, vape devices, and nicotine pouches.
Our age verification system ensures that customers are at least 18 years old before purchasing any nicotine products. If a customer fails age verification, they will not be able to complete the purchase. This commitment is critical to our efforts in curbing underage access to nicotine products.
Responsible Marketing
We believe in responsible marketing, and we take great care to ensure that our advertisements do not target or appeal to minors. Vape Superstore adheres to industry standards and legal requirements by ensuring that our marketing materials are only directed to adult consumers who are informed about the risks of nicotine use. We do not use any media or content that is designed to appeal to underage audiences.
Community Education and Awareness
We recognize that educating the community, particularly young people, about the risks of nicotine use is key to preventing underage use. Vape Superstore is committed to supporting initiatives that raise awareness about the dangers of nicotine consumption. While we primarily sell products to adult consumers, we also advocate for public health initiatives that aim to reduce smoking and vaping rates among youth.
Monitoring and Enforcement
We take a proactive approach to ensure that underage users are not able to purchase our products. In addition to our age verification process, we continuously monitor transactions and take swift action if we detect any fraudulent activity or attempts to bypass our age verification measures.
Collaboration with Regulatory Authorities
Vape Superstore collaborates with relevant regulatory authorities to ensure that we comply with all laws governing the sale of nicotine products. We work closely with local enforcement agencies and government bodies to maintain high standards in preventing underage access to vaping and nicotine products.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to promoting the responsible use of nicotine products and maintaining a safe, lawful environment for both our customers and the wider community. By adhering to this Youth Protection Policy, we are reinforcing our commitment to reducing underage access to nicotine products and supporting public health efforts to prevent early nicotine addiction.
