question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the potential savings to the public purse from the health service encouraging the uptake of e-cigarettes among smokers.
tabling member constituency	York Outer
tabling member printed	Julian Sturdy
uin	133394
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>The potential financial impacts of e-cigarettes on the public purse are not yet fully understood. The evidence base is still evolving on these products, largely because vaping is still relatively new and the health effects may be very long term. Significant savings to the public purse are likely to arise only if smokers switch completely from smoked tobacco. The Government’s Tobacco Control Plan, published in July 2017, estimates that the National Health Service currently spends £2.5 billion on treating smoking-related diseases and Public Health England assess e-cigarettes to be at least 95% less harmful than smoked tobacco. Reduced harm may not translate exactly into proportional costs savings, but superficially this implies that vaping, as an alternative to smoking, may contribute to significant savings.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 27/03/2018 14:37:44 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

tabling member constituency	York Outer
tabling member printed	Julian Sturdy
uin	133395
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department has been clear that for smokers, quitting smoking completely is the best way to improve health. E-cigarettes are not risk free. However, the evidence is increasingly clear that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful to health than cigarettes and can help smokers to quit, particularly when combined with support from stop smoking services.</p><p> </p><p>The Government committed Public Health England (PHE), through the Tobacco Control Plan, published in 2017, to include messages about the relative safety of e-cigarettes in their quit smoking campaigns. PHE’s 2017 Stoptober campaign included e-cigarettes among the array of tools that smokers can use to help them quit and, in their New Year smoking health harms campaign, PHE reprised these messages. It is through this consistent messaging that the Government hopes to reverse the harmful, mistaken – and increasingly widespread – belief that vaping is no safer than smoking.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 27/03/2018 14:42:47 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
