Vape Tax.. we all knew it was coming

[SubSSC]

"Downing Street said there was an “important balance” to be struck in making sure that cigarettes were taxed at a higher level than vapes, which officials regard as a useful tool to cut smoking even though they carry their own health risks."

As far as I am aware any health risks are absolutely minimal - especially compared to tobacco! Or am I being delusional? What are these health risks??

Probably referring to the nicotine addiction warning that gets plastered over everything vape related

They can if HMG decides to ban flavours except for tobacco and mint.

nope, food flavorings. That people put in their coffee or use in a room diffuser

More than likely a vape tax would probably apply to anything specifically related to vaping which would mean vendors would have to find a way to justify saying that shortfills are not vape specific products.

Although nicotine can be addictive (and I say CAN be - as not everyone gets addicted to nicotine) - does it carry health risks - i.e. any more than say caffeine?

No one picks up a bottle of vape juice containing nicotine and sticks it in their coffee.

We may well get away with it for flavour concentrates but other kinds of e-liquid including shortfills will be more of a problem to avoid being caught.

I think and hope you're right mate, but when you look at the crazy shite they've passed already, it doesn't fill me with confidence

Sell a few of these

rename to aroma something or other, sure your not gonna be in the shops or win any new customers but if you have an existing customer base there is no reason the aromas cant be sold
