There will be two roadshows in June where you can meet local experts for advice and guidance on illegal vapes and tobacco. They will be held on the following dates:
- Tuesday, 16 June - 10am - 4pm: Outside Trinity Church, Hounslow High Street
- Wednesday, 17 June - 11am - 3pm: Feltham High Street
Illegal tobacco and vapes harm public health, local businesses and our communities by making cheap, unregulated products more accessible. They are especially dangerous for young people, who often buy illegal products at corner shops.
