Do not restrict vape flavours
We want the Government to not give Ministers powers to restrict vape flavours in the Tobacco & Vapes Bill, as we believe it will undermine efforts to help smokers quit.

Further consultation will occur before introduction of any specific restrictions on vape flavours. To avoid unintended consequences on smoking rates, the any restrictions will be carefully considered.

Background
Some studies show flavoured vapes can help people stop smoking, and we think limiting options risks pushing users back to cigarettes or other products, endangering public health.
We believe flavoured vaping products already play a crucial role in helping smokers quit smoking cigarettes. We believe that restricting flavours would bring more harm, reversing smoking cessation progress and pushing users to dangerous black-market products.
