Oral Tobacco: Young People
Asked by: Ranil Jayawardena (Conservative - North East Hampshire) Tuesday 16th January 2024 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 assessment of the potential impact of high-profile use of snus on young people's health. Answered by Andrea Leadsom - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Snus is banned in the United Kingdom and we have no plans to introduce additional tobacco products to the UK market. Alternative tobacco-free products exist, such as nicotine pouches, which are sometimes referred to as snus. Research suggests that, although nicotine pouch use is low among adults, with 0.26% or 1 in 400 users in Great Britain, it is increasingly popular with younger male audiences. We will continue to monitor the evidence on these products. In our recent consultation, Creating a smokefree generation and tackling youth vaping, the Government explored whether further regulatory measures are needed for other nicotine consumer products such as nicotine pouches. The consultation closed on 6 December 2023 and we will publish a consultation response shortly. |

Change the law and prevent children aged 5 to 17 from drinking alcohol in their home or other private premises Petition Under Consideration - 44 SignaturesOpen Petition since 9th April 2024 In England, Scotland, and Wales, it's not illegal for someone between the ages of five and 17 to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises. But this does not mean it is recommended. The best advice for young people's health and wellbeing is an alcohol-free childhood. It was brought to my attention by Police Scotland and social services that children are allowed to consume alcohol from age 5 in their home or private premises. There is a focus to increase the cost of alcohol to help tackle problems. Scotland has issues with many adults abusing alcohol. I believe this situation doesn't help. We need to support our children to make the right decisions and not hide behind loop-holes in the law but instead change them. Found: The best advice for young people's health and wellbeing is an alcohol-free childhood. |
