Electronic Cigarettes
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the Royal College of Physician's report, Nicotine without smoke: Tobacco harm reduction, published in April 2016.
- Answer
-
The Department has and will continue to keep abreast of all evidence and consider it in developing policy. The report published by the Royal College of Physicians is consistent with the Government’s current policy that the best thing a smoker can do for their health is to quit smoking and quit for good, but we recognise that e-cigarettes have a role to play in helping some people to quit.
