Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Committee on Toxicity has been able to obtain independent confirmation of manufacturers' findings in regards to heat-not-burn products.
This question was answered on 1st February 2022
The Committees on Toxicity, Carcinogenicity and Mutagenicity’s statement on heat-not-burn tobacco products in 2017 was based on data provided by the manufacturers as well as the available independent data on these products. As this is not standard practice, the Department has not obtained independent confirmation of the data assessed by the Committee on Toxicity.
