89. To ask the Minister for Health if she is aware that vapes are being advertised and displayed alongside children’s toys in shops; if so, the steps he is taking to ensure the practice is curtailed; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33165/25]

My current legislative priority, approved by Government on 10 September, is the further regulation of nicotine inhaling products. These proposals are now being drafted with the Office of the Attorney General.

The General Scheme for a Nicotine Inhaling Products Bill contains a range of proposals to reduce youth use of nicotine inhaling products including restrictions on the display and advertising of these products at the point-of-sale in mixed retail outlets. When drafting is finalised the proposed measure will require notification and assessment at EU level under the Technical Standards Directive (Directive 2015/1535).
