Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 9 February to Question 112640 on Tobacco: Mortality Rates, for what reason he has made no formal assessment of the adverse health risks of snus.
The Department has not undertaken its own formal review of snus as it is banned in the United Kingdom and we have no plans to introduce additional tobacco products to the market.
