To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits for people who smoke of allowing major supermarkets to advertise to smokers (a) e-cigarettes and (b) heat-not-burn products.

‘The Khan review: making smoking obsolete’ published on 9 June made recommendations to support the Government’s ambition for England to be smoke free by 2030. These recommendations include measures to support smokers switching to e-cigarettes, such as through changing advertising and marketing regulations. The Department is considering these recommendations and we will respond in the forthcoming white paper on health disparities and in the Tobacco Control Plan, which will be published later this year.
