Congratulations to Wes Streeting on his role as the new Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, as well as to Karin Smyth and Stephen Kinnock for their appointment as Ministers in this critical department.
The UK Vaping Industry Association looks forward to continuing our engagement with Wes Streeting and following up on his commitment to meet with our Director General prior to the election, as well as working with the DHSC and the wider government, to deliver a smokefree future.
As we enter this exciting new phase in UK politics, it’s important that we clear away the misperceptions around vaping – hopefully these ten facts will help:
The Tobacco & Vapes Bill committee has heard oral evidence from a range of so-called stakeholders with a vested interest in its passage through the legislative process.
The truth is that it was one of the most one-sided Bill Committee hearings ever to take place both in terms of the membership of the committee and those giving evidence.
No representatives from the vaping industry. No representation from the millions of vapers. Not one MP who opposed the Bill on the Committee. The result: The Tobacco and Vapes Bill committee hearing turned into the ‘Chamber of Misinformation’.
These are some of the worse examples of the misinformation presented to the committee during the evidence sessions on April 30 and May 1:
