The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Vaping calls 2021 a “pivotal year” in a document published last week.
The politicians call for smokers and vapers to have “access to, and information about, a wider range of safer, reduced-risk, nicotine products to help them quit combustible tobacco – ensuring their experiences remain front and centre of the policy debate.”
The full report was described by expert Clive Bates as a “genuinely well-founded basis for meeting the [government’s] 2030 target”.
“It’s the first report I have seen that takes the harm reduction concept towards its more logical conclusion, embracing vaping, heated tobacco products, smokeless and new nicotine pouches and trying to tilt the regulatory playing field in their favour, rather than against them.”
The APPG called on the Government to expand current regulations that cover vaping products to include a wider range of reduced-risk nicotine products, “to help ensure that the 7 million smokers in the UK are given the best chance possible to quit using combustible tobacco.”
