Did all retailers join the voluntary scheme or just most major supermarkets?

 

A ban will include those shops not joining in with the current voluntary scheme.

Those same shops that sell them vapes and dodgey  fags .

Which as your post shows, means the police and trading standards will be able to take action where the law is being broken.

So you've swerved from 'it doesn't need to be done because there's already a voluntary code' to 'it won't work because some people will ignore the ban'.

 

It will at least reduce availability by eliminating those shops that sell kids hi-caffeine drinks now because they are allowed to. If any shop is caught selling them to kids, ban the shop from stocking them at all.

Do you mean stop selling knives to adults? They ask in supermarkets how old you are if buying sharp DIY knives.

It's almost like our laws are only working against us.
