'It is a worrying indication of the scale of the problem.'
A crackdown on illegal tobacco has seen more than 778,000 cigarettes seized by Glasgow trading standards officers in the last two years.
The news comes after it was revealed officers in Glasgow also seized more than 13,000 non-compliant single-use vapes in the final three months of last year. Sniffer dogs have been trained to target the scent of tobacco and can help officers find hidden products, such as under floorboards or behind false walls.
Cllr Kelly also has “serious concerns” about single-use vapes due to “their environmental impact and the impact on people’s health in years to come”.
