Maximising benefits. Minimising unintended consequences

Across the UK and globally government and public health bodies are focused on exploring effective measures to discourage youth vaping.  However, evidence of unintended consequences of potential vaping policies remains a concern. In this session, Jasmine and Martin will share fresh data on the “Policy Decision Making Aid” that will explore foreseeable unintended consequences and potential ideas to minimise them. Key policies to discuss include:

• Reducing affordability (tax, minimum pack size)
• Restricting appeal (flavours, packaging)
• Reducing accessibility (Age of sale, licensing)
