<p>The Government is concerned about the worrying rise in vaping among children. Youth
vaping has tripled in the last three years, and one in five children now use a vape.
The health advice is clear: if you don’t smoke, don’t vape, and children should never
vape. In our recent consultation response, we set out our plan to introduce legislation
as soon as possible to further crack down on youth vaping by providing powers to restrict
flavours, point of sale and packaging of vaping products.</p><p>In regard to advertising
and sponsorship, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 30 January 2024 to
Question <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2024-01-23/11133"
target="_blank">11133</a>.</p><p>The Department has not made a specific assessment
of the potential impact of advertising vape products in sports venues and on sports
kits on health outcomes.</p>
