Approximately 2,200 people die each year in Northern Ireland from smoking-related conditions.
Northern Ireland will be included in a UK-wide public consultation on tobacco and vaping being launched today amid growing calls for stricter rules around the manufacture and sale of vaping products.
However, a recent review of its tobacco control strategy highlighted several remaining challenges, not least the continued preventable premature death and ill-health caused by smoking. Figures show that disposable vapes are the e-cigarette of choice among youngsters, while purchases of vapes are mostly made from corner shops. Many vapes contain addictive nicotine.
Curbs may also be introduced on vape packaging and “product presentation” to ensure neither the device nor its packaging is targeted at children. Mr Sunak, who last week unveiled plans to stop children aged 14 or younger from ever legally being sold cigarettes, said he was “wasting no time to deliver on that promise”.
