Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an estimate of the number of hospital admissions there have been as a result of lung injuries related to e-cigarette or vaping product usage in each of the last 10 years.

The number of hospital admissions due to vaping in England for the past three years can be viewed through recently reported National Health Service data, which is available at the following link:

https://digital.nhs.uk/supplementary-information/2023/hospital-admissions-for-vaping-related-disorders

Please note that admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period, and figures from 2022 to 2023 are provisional.

We continue to monitor the adverse drug reactions to vapes through the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency Yellow Card reporting system.
