answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2023 answer text <p>Smoking is responsible for around 80,000 deaths a year in the United Kingdom and causes around one in four cancer deaths in the UK. It also costs our country £17 billion a year and puts a huge burden on the National Health Service.</p><p>Vaping is rightly used by adults as a tool to quit smoking. They are substantially less harmful than cigarettes. However, the Government is concerned about the worrying rise in vaping among children, with youth vaping tripling in the last three years and one in five children having now used a vape.</p><p>This is why the Government is planning to create a smokefree generation by bringing forward legislation so that children turning 14 years old or younger this year will never be legally sold tobacco products, and further crack down on youth vaping by consulting on measures to reduce the appeal and availability of vapes to children.</p><p>We will publish our Impact Assessment shortly.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom grouped question UIN 4973 question first answered 11/12/2023 17:17:32 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
