Don’t ban flavoured e-liquids for e-cigarettes - 49,571 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 68,807 - 140 added in the past 24hrs)

We would like the Government to not ban flavoured e-liquids for e-cigarettes. We believe the vaping industry has helped many people quit cigarettes which contain tobacco - a product which is single handily responsible for over 8 million deaths a year across the globe (estimated by WHO).

The Government responsed to this petition on 12th March 2024 (View Full Response)
To address the rise in youth vaping, vape flavours that appeal to children will be restricted. We will consult further, being mindful of the role flavours can play in supporting adult smokers quit.

Ban the use of dogs for testing and research purposes in the UK - 32,169 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 32,250 - 11 added in the past 24hrs)

Dogs display a range of emotions, and their cognitive abilities are complex and advanced. Dogs in laboratories are forced to endure not only psychological trauma due to their restrictive environment but can also undergo harmful experiments that cause pain and suffering.

The Government responsed to this petition on 6th December 2023 (View Full Response)
The government does not agree to the proposed ban. Testing would continue in other countries. The UK still requires such data to ensure the safety of medicines before testing in humans.

We believe the MHRA should be reviewed. This should include its approval processes, its monitoring of safety of existing products, its transparency and accountability, and its mechanisms to ensure patient safety is prioritised over commercial interests.

The Government responsed to this petition on 20th March 2024 (View Full Response)
Patient safety is the MHRA’s highest priority. There are no plans to review the MHRA, including its accountability, approval processes or its monitoring of the safety of products.

Fast track benefits as soon as someone is diagnosed as terminally ill - 8,515 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 12,598 - 770 added in the past 24hrs)

Being told you have a terminal illness is devastating news. Being told you're not eligible for fast track benefits because you're expected to live longer than the '12 months or less' timeframe feels inhumane. TERMINAL MEANS TERMINAL, even if you're likely to live longer than 12 months.
