Hundreds of shops still selling banned flavored vapes.

Illegal vapes are still being sold in the Netherlands despite fines from the NVWA. Many young people use flavored vapes, and most vapers buy products from the black market. The government is trying to stop this, but it is a difficult problem.

The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Authority (NVWA) has issued many fines to shops selling banned vapes. However, these sellers continue to operate.

The government is increasing fines and trying to seize these products. Minister Hermans is concerned about the ongoing sales and the impact on businesses.
