Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to The Khan Review: Making Smoking Obsolete published 9 June 2022, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of implementing any of the outstanding recommendations in that review.

The Government carefully considered and assessed all of the recommendations in the Khan Review. In the package of new action that was announced on 11 April, we have committed to implement several of these recommendations. This included significant new funding to reduce smoking, a national vaping swap to stop scheme and a financial incentives scheme for all pregnant smokers. It also included funding to tackle illicit vaping and new measures to address youth vaping.
