Cheetham Hill’s Vape Boom After Fake Goods Crackdown | Manchester News

Cheetham Hill in Manchester flipped from a notorious hub for counterfeit goods to Britain’s vape capital—thanks to a major police crackdown that shut down hundreds of shops and led to a boom in vape stores, with over fifty shops now packed onto just two streets. Once known for fake designer clothes and drug dealing, the area now draws buyers from across the UK to its massive vape supermarkets, earning it the title of Europe’s biggest vape market. While locals debate whether it’s safer or just more chaotic, police say crime is down and they’ve seized thousands of illicit vapes and counterfeit items. The transformation is wild—and it’s far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
