Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will take steps to provide education to (a) adults, (b) young people and (c) children on the environmental effects of vaping.

We are aware that the use of vaping devices has increased substantially in recent years and we are considering the implications of this trend on the environment. We are currently reviewing the responses to the Department of Health and Social Care’s recently published call for evidence on youth vaping and the environment and will use this evidence to inform what policy decisions we might take in the future to mitigate the impacts of vapes.
