Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the recommendation from the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) to regulate the branding and packaging of e-cigarette products to ensure that they do not inadvertently appeal to non-smokers or young people.

We are currently assessing the regulations on the branding and packaging of e-cigarette products to ensure that they do not inadvertently appeal to non-smokers or young people. A range of regulatory proposals, including related to e-cigarettes, are being considering as part of the Independent Review on Tobacco Control and for the Tobacco Control Plan.
