Electronic Cigarettes: Children
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the impact of vaping on the respiratory health of children under 18.
- Answer
-
The number of children vaping has tripled in the last three years. Due to highly addictive nicotine content and the unknown long-term harms, vaping carries risk of harm and addiction for children.
This is why on 4 October 2023, the Prime Minister announced that we will be cracking down on youth vaping, by consulting on measures to reduce the appeal, availability and affordability of vapes to children.
