Dear (name of your MP),

I am writing as your constituent to share my experience. Vaping enabled me to quit smoking after other methods failed, and I believe I would still be a smoker today without it. It has been enormously beneficial to my health.

The UK has been a global leader in recognising the role that safer nicotine products can play in reducing smoking rates and the harms caused by tobacco. This approach has contributed to a substantial fall in smoking prevalence, a success that other countries could learn from.

At this year’s COP11 on tobacco control, it is important that the UK highlights this achievement. Article 1(d) of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control specifically recognises harm reduction as part of tobacco control. COP11 is a valuable opportunity for the UK to showcase its success and encourage other nations to follow a similar evidence-based path.

I am concerned, however, that some of the proposals being considered internationally – such as bans on flavours or restrictions that treat vaping the same as smoking – could undermine the UK’s progress and make it harder for smokers to switch.

Could you, as my Member of Parliament, write to the Department of Health and Social Care to ask that the Government:

champions the role that safer nicotine products and harm reduction strategies have played in reducing smoking rates in the UK, and

ensures that our domestic policy is not undermined by overly restrictive international measures that could limit access to these life-saving alternatives.

I would also be grateful if you could raise this issue in Parliament should the opportunity arise.

Thank you for your support on this important matter.

Yours sincerely,
(Your name, address & postcode)
