The Department used a range of data sources to estimate and model smoking prevalence among those aged 14 to 30 years old. The main data sources used were Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People in England by NHS England Digital, Adult smoking habits in the UK by the Office for National Statistics, and the University College London Smoking Toolkit Study, all three of which are available at the following links:
https://www.smokinginengland.info/graphs/top-line-findings
These data sources are publicly available, and while no single source provides smoking prevalence for those aged 14 to 30, the Department will monitor these data sources and any others we think are appropriate to evaluate the impact of the smoke-free generation policy.
To ask His Majesty's Government what evidence from other countries, if any, they have considered when evaluating the effect of standardised packaging requirements for heated tobacco products on rates of youth uptake.
To ask His Majesty's Government what evidence from other countries, if any, they have considered when evaluating the effect of standardised packaging requirements for heated tobacco products on rates of youth uptake.
On 10 July 2026, the Government launched a United Kingdom-wide consultation on proposals to reduce the appeal and availability of tobacco, vaping and nicotine products, particularly to children and young people. The consultation includes proposals for plain, white packaging for vaping and nicotine products, aligning existing tobacco display restrictions across relevant products, restricting the appearance of vaping and heated tobacco devices, and extending existing tobacco packaging requirements to other tobacco products and tobacco-related devices. The Government will carefully consider all consultation responses before making any final policy decisions.
Internationally, some countries have introduced packaging requirements for vapes and/or nicotine pouches, including Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, and Israel. As these policies have only recently been implemented, there is currently limited evidence on their evaluation. However, research by University College London and Kings College London has found, for example, that plain vape packaging reduced the appeal of vapes to young people without putting off adults who smoke. The proportion of young people who thought their friends would want to try a vape fell from approximately half, or 53%, with branded packaging to about a third, or 38%, with plain packaging, and to around a quarter, or 27%, when flavour descriptions were also limited.
