747. To ask the Minister for Health the status of proposed legislation banning the sale of disposable nicotine inhaling products, banning the sale of flavoured nicotine inhaling products and placing restrictions on the advertising of such products; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Cabinet approval was given on 10 September to proposals for a Bill to further regulate nicotine inhaling products, including a complete ban on disposable vapes. Those proposals are now being drafted with the Office of the Attorney General. Once completed, the draft legislation will 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.
