Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will direct the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities’ next annual review of vaping and tobacco harm reduction in England to focus on the potential role of tobacco-free oral nicotine pouches in helping smokers to quit.

The next Office for Health Improvement and Disparities’ Vaping in England annual report will include data on the use of nicotine pouches amongst adults and youth. It will not, however, focus on the potential role of nicotine pouches in smoking cessation.

Plans for reviewing the wider evidence base for nicotine pouches are being considered.
