Not wishing to derail but you can still buy 10, except they're wrapped in a tobacco leaf, not paper, they're not bad either!

I got that one wrong lol. The minimum is now a 10 pack instead of 5 - I must admit I haven't paid it much attention lol.

no, they def banned 10 packs. i think what @andipandi mentioned is a loophole, wrapped in tobacco leaf probably means the legal classification would be “cigar” rather than fags.

That sounds feasible. I must admit I posted from memory of the changes, rather than actually bothering to check, and my memory can't be trusted lol.

UK: Government Will Propose Vape Tax in March

After nearly a decade of progressive vaping policy, the British government is likely this year to impose a tax on vaping products for the first time. The Conservative Party-led government believes a tax will dissuade youth from vaping, and also wants to offset lost revenue from eliminating some other taxes.

The tax will be announced with the release of the government’s budget on March 6, according to The Mirror, which first reported the tax proposal Saturday. The newspaper said a tax is “almost inevitable,” and could increase vape prices by at least 25 percent, according to a government source.

Imposing a tax was among the possible actions proposed by the government in a public consultation that ended in early December. Responses to the consultation will supposedly be considered when the government announces a plan this year. Other possible measures include vape flavor restrictions, a ban on disposable vapes, and regulating images on vape packaging.

Would this also impact imports from chinese sites?

In theory, yes.
Although if you're talking about hardware, and they only taxed e-liquid, then hardware would be exempt from that tax of course.

I imagine that if there were to be a tax it would be imposed at import and again at point of sales.

It is just a cash grab. It will do nothing to stop teenagers using vapes. When I smoked tax increases did nothing to make me want to stop.
