(asked on 15th July 2016) - View Source

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to ensure tobacco-based products such as factory-made cigarettes and heated tobacco are subject to identical regulatory obligations.


This question was answered on 21st July 2016

The Government introduced the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 in April this year. These Regulations strengthen the regulation of tobacco products in relation to their manufacture, production and presentation and include a new regulatory framework for electronic cigarettes and herbal products for smoking.

The Government will consult on the duty treatment of heated tobacco products later in 2016.
