Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the publication of Towards a smoke-free generation: a tobacco control plan for England in July 2017 by his Department, if he will (a) create a strategy to reduce the consumption of and (b) publish a report on the consumption of chewing tobacco primarily by South Asian women.

Towards a smoke free generation: a tobacco control plan for England, sets out national ambitions to further reduce use of all tobacco products across the population in England. We have no plans to produce either a separate strategy to address, or a report on, the consumption of chewing tobacco by South Asian women.
