The Department has commissioned and published a series of evidence reviews on vaping which included an assessment on the impact of vaping on people that do not smoke tobacco. The final report of the series, Nicotine vaping in England published in September 2022, found that in the short and medium term, vaping poses a small fraction of the risks of smoking, but that vaping is not risk-free, particularly for people who have never smoked.
