Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had recent discussions with Cabinet colleagues on taking steps to limit the access of children to (a) vapes and (b) e-cigarettes.

The Government recently ran a call for evidence on youth vaping (using an e-cigarette) which closed on 6 June 2023. This will identify opportunities to reduce the number of children accessing and using vaping products and explore where the Government can go further. We will respond later this year.
