Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the July 2018 report of the Science and Technology Committee on E-cigarettes HC 505, what assessment he has made of the potential effectiveness of urgently reviewing the policies of local stop smoking services on vape products.

The Department does not monitor the policies of local stop smoking services. Therefore no such assessment has been made.

The Government is committed to keeping the evidence on e-cigarettes under review. Public Health England will continue to publish an annual review of the evidence base, and reflect that emerging evidence base in advice to local services.
