To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an estimate of the proportion of people who vape who were not formerly tobacco smokers.

Data from the Office for National Statistics adult smoking habits survey show that around 2.4% of people who have never smoked reported that they were daily or occasional vape users in 2022, an increase from 1.7% in 2021.
