Lancashire Trading Standards secure first ever Restricted Sale Order banning shopkeeper from selling tobacco

Lancashire’s first ever ban preventing a shopkeeper from selling certain items has been secured by trading standard bosses. Ahmed received the ban after Blackburn Magistrates were told that he had sold vapes to children on three occasions between June and September 2023. The sales all took place at Huff Puff & Candies, on Chapel Street in Chorley, which has since closed down.

The ban comes on top of fines and costs of more than £700, imposed at Preston Magistrates' Court earlier this year, for making the three sales. Separate proceedings against Ahmed's employer, Umar Abbas, also of Gilnow Road, Bolton, are currently adjourned for sentencing later this month. Cllr Michael Green, cabinet member for Health and Wellbeing, hailed the strong action taken.
