UKVIA Responds to Evidence Call

The UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) submitted a detailed, evidence-based response to the UK government’s Tobacco & Vapes Bill, emphasizing that regulation should support vaping as a tool for harm reduction rather than make quitting tobacco harder. They advocate for a simple, enforceable product-registration system, robust testing and manufacturing standards aligned with international best practices, and clear rules protecting adult access to flavors and products that help them quit smoking. UKVIA also stressed that enforcement should target illicit sellers and non-compliant imports, not responsible, compliant companies.

11.80% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 6.7 million current smokers in United Kingdom 13.60% of men are current smokers but only 10.10% of women.
