I propose to take Questions Nos. 1489 and 1490 together.

I received Cabinet approval on 10 September to draft a Bill which will further regulate nicotine inhaling products, including a complete ban on disposable vapes. The proposal for a Bill is now in drafting stage. The draft legislation will then require notification at EU level under the Technical Standards Directive (Directive 2015/1535).

At this early stage in the legislative process, I do not have a timeline for the introduction of the measures in the Bill.
