answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2023 answer text <p>The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, previously Public Health England (PHE), has published detailed evidence updates on vapes (e-cigarettes) since 2014.</p><p>The last report, published in 2022, assesses the impact on public health of second-hand vapour from e-cigarettes in public spaces. This can be seen in Chapter 7 ‘Biomarkers of Secondhand exposure’. The full report is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1107701/Nicotine-vaping-in-England-2022-report.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1107701/Nicotine-vaping-in-England-2022-report.pdf</a></p><p>In summary, there is limited published evidence of harm to bystanders from exposure to e-cigarette vapour and the available evidence indicates that any risk of harm is extremely low, especially when compared with tobacco smoke. PHE also published advice on the use of vapes in public places and workplaces in 2016 which is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/use-of-e-cigarettes-in-public-places-and-workplaces" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/use-of-e-cigarettes-in-public-places-and-workplaces</a></p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 12/06/2023 13:41:48 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

uin	184154
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 answer text <p>No estimate has been made. The most recent data from the United Kingdom National Diet and Nutrition Survey, collected between 2016 and 2019, show that average trans fat intakes in the UK are 0.5-0.6% of total energy intake for adults, and 0.5% for children. This is well within the UK recommended maximum of no more than 2% of total energy.</p><p> </p><p>Trans fat intakes in the UK have declined substantially since the 1980s and 1990s due to the voluntary removal of artificial trans fats from processed foods by the food industry, with some additional work to reduce levels of trans fats in food being undertaken between 2011 and 2013.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 15/05/2023 11:10:32 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
