Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what his policy is on the definition of e-cigarettes as tobacco products under the terms of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
Electronic cigarettes are not defined as tobacco products under the World Health Organisation (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. The regulation of e-cigarettes, is however, scheduled for discussion at the sixth session of the Conference of the Parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on 13–18 October 2014.
