Electronic Cigarettes: Licensing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will meet with the UK Vaping Industry Association to discuss the introduction of a Vape Licensing Scheme.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
Since September 2023, the Department has not met with the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA). However, we have received and responded to several items of correspondence.
The UKVIA, and other members of the vaping industry, did respond to the smoke-free generation and youth vaping consultation that ran from 12 October to 6 December 2023. We will also be consulting further with all interested parties before any future vaping regulations are introduced. Any meeting requests should be sent through the appropriate formal channels.
