9th June 2022: UK: Today, the Independent review into smoke-free 2030 policies led by Javed Khan was published. The document lays out proposals for England to achieve a smoking rate of 5% by 2030. The report calls for facilitating access to nicotine pouches, but it also states that no new tobacco products, like snus, should be allowed on the market: "This will stagnate the market, with no newly available or attractive products. It will also help avoid the industry circumventing any new tax duties or measures by introducing new products to the market that are cheaper." Lastly, Khan recommends that the government should support independent research into heated tobacco and ensure the regulatory framework is appropriate for these products. More details can be found in our latest news briefing.
