The LGA has warned vapers of the potential dangers of stockpiling disposable vapes following the 1 June ban.
According to research by online nicotine retailer, Haypp, 82 per cent of disposable vape users planned to stockpile ahead of the ban.
Councils have warned that the lithium batteries contained inside disposable vapes could cause a fire and risk to life if not stored correctly.
High street shops and convenience stores are also reminded they risk being fined if they do not comply with the ban.
Following the ban, it is now illegal for businesses to sell or supply, or have in their possession for sale, all single-use or disposable vapes.
The LGA led calls for a ban two years ago because of environmental and health concerns.
Cllr David Fothergill, Chairman of the LGA’s Community Wellbeing Board, said: “If businesses have any single-use vapes in their possession, they will not be able to sell them to shoppers and must ensure they are stored and disposed of safely.”
