Electronic Cigarettes and Tobacco
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what evidence her Department has considered on the role of product differentiation, branding and consumer information in supporting switching from combustible tobacco products to vaping products among adult smokers.
- Answer
-
I refer the Hon. Members to the Government's consultations, and accompanying consultation stage impact assessments, on smoke-free, heated tobacco-free, and vape-free places, and on the packaging, device appearance, and display of tobacco, vaping, and nicotine products. The Government will carefully consider the responses before taking decisions on future regulations.
I refer the Hon. Members to the Tobacco and Vapes Bill House of Lords debate on 24 February 2026 in relation to filters. Evidence is still developing and there are no current plans to consult on plain packaging and promotions restrictions. No assessment has been taken on filters being used to circumvent the current flavours ban.
