Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to create stop vaping programmes for (a) adults and (b) children and young people.

As part of the national Swap to Stop scheme, we will be developing a stop vaping programme to help support adult vapers to be nicotine free. This component of the programme will be commissioned later this year.

Local stop smoking services can also provide resources to support children and adult vapers to quit, through funding from the public health grant.

We also launched a call for evidence to identify opportunities to reduce the number of under 18s accessing and using vape products. The call for evidence has now closed, and the government will be considering a range of options based on the evidence provided.
