Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on the proportion of children between the ages of 11 and 15 who regularly used e-cigarettes in each year since 2018.

Data on the proportion of children aged 11 to 15 year olds who are regular vapers is available in the Smoking, Drinking and Drug use among Young People in England publication. This is normally a biennial publication, however, the 2020 edition was delayed, therefore data is only available for 2018 and 2021. In 2018, 2% of 11 to 15 year olds were regular vapers. In 2021, 4% of 11 to 15 year-olds were regular vapers.
