,"The UK government has launched a call for evidence to support the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, aiming to reduce smoking and nicotine use, particularly among young people. The government is seeking information on substances, flavours, and ingredients in tobacco, vaping, and nicotine products, including risks from heavy metals, nicotine strength, and additives. This evidence will help shape future regulations on flavour restrictions, product safety, and licensing to protect public health. The focus is on understanding how flavours and ingredients in vapes and nicotine products influence youth uptake, health risks, and the potential impact of restricting flavours or limiting nicotine content. The government is also gathering evidence on the production of vape liquids, device components, and business implications to inform policy decisions across the UK and support the creation of a smoke-free generation."
