answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2023 answer text <p>Smoking rates are the lowest on record, currently at 13%. These reductions have been achieved through investment in multi-modal interventions, a strong regulatory framework, effective quit campaigns and funding to local authority stop smoking services.</p><p> </p><p>The most effective way to quit smoking is through behavioural support from stop smoking services, alongside a nicotine substituting product, such as a vape (e-cigarette). We recently published the Nicotine Vaping in England Report which is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nicotine-vaping-in-england-2022-evidence-update" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nicotine-vaping-in-england-2022-evidence-update</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government encourages users to quit all forms of tobacco and therefore does not recommend the use of heated tobacco products. Snus is banned in the United Kingdom and we have no plans to introduce additional tobacco products to the market as we have safer nicotine delivery products currently available for smokers to switch to.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 17/01/2023 16:47:15 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2022 answer text <p>It is the responsibility of the FCA to assess whether cryptoasset firms have appropriate anti-money laundering controls.</p><p> </p><p>As part of this assessment, firms must demonstrate they have the necessary skills and qualifications. Firms must also demonstrate they have proper policies and procedures in place to deal with the specific nature of the cryptoasset ecosystem. Where either is assessed to be below the required standard, they may have their application rejected or refused.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Money Laundering Regulations established a risk-based approach to the supervision of cryptoasset businesses. The assessment which each firm must undergo is therefore proportionate to the risks generated by the kind of activities firms engage in.</p><p> </p><p>This means that whether the broker holds cryptoassets themselves or uses a registered cryptoasset firm, the skills &amp; procedures required will likely be different from those that a large cryptoasset exchange is expected to demonstrate.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 28/06/2022 13:50:19 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
