New Clause 14 - Application of the Part I of the Health Act 2006 to vaping

Part of Tobacco and Vapes Bill – in a Public Bill Committee at 3:15 pm on 14 May 2024.

Alert me about debates like this

“(1) The Health Act 2006 is amended as follows.

(2) After section 1 (Introduction) insert—

(1) In this Part, and in any regulations made under this Part, where a provision applies to smoking, it should also be taken to apply to vaping.

(2) For the purposes of this section, “vaping” means the use of a vape or vaping product to vaporise a vaping substance.

(3) For the purposes of this section, “vape”, “vaping product”, “vaping substance” and “vaporises” have the meanings given in section 69 of the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2024.’”—

This new clause would amend the Health Act 2006, which banned smoking in public places and certain vehicles, to include vaping.
