The European Commission wants to hike taxes of safer nicotine products, a move which will cause enormous pain for consumers, most of whom just want to stop smoking.
In an announcement on 16th July, the EU’s executive proposed hikes of at least 40% for most vaping liquids, 50% for nicotine pouches and 55% for heated tobacco. Full details of all the changes proposed are here (don’t worry, we’ve used the detailed rates in our calculator to make sure it’s accurate).
15% would be paid directly into the EU budget if approved.
