APPG for Responsible Vaping Inquiry

Inquiry on Vaping – Autumn 2024

The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Responsible Vaping has launched an inquiry into the role of vaping in the United Kingdom.

The inquiry will look at the role of vaping in the UK, covering a range of specific topics, that includes the public health, environmental and economic impact, along with proposed government legislative measures including flavours, packaging, display, excise and a ban on certain vaping products.

This inquiry will bring together evidence and experience from experts in wide range of respective fields as the Group focuses on sector responsibilities in addressing the key issues associated with vaping.

A report will bring together the inquiry findings and include a thematic analysis of the topics discussed, as well as practical and legislative suggestions for the role of vaping.

Those wishing to submit evidence to the inquiry should use the form here. If you have any problems accessing the form please contact info@responsiblevapingappg.org and a copy can be sent directly for completion.

We welcome submissions from experts in the fields of respiratory health, epidemiology, and tobacco dependence. We would also like to hear from smoking cessation stakeholders, particularly those with first-hand experience of using vapes within quit smoking services. 

Submissions should be sent by email to info@responsiblevapingappg.org by 15th November 2024. Responses to individual questions should be kept to a maximum of 500 words. Supporting information and evidence will also be accepted.
