Unveiling his decision to make the nicotine liquids used in electronic vapes subject to excise duties for the first time in his UK budget speech, Hunt said tobacco duty would also increase to ensure it remains more expensive than vaping. He said “[e-cigarettes] can also play a positive role in helping people quit smoking”, which is why there would also be a “one-off increase in tobacco duty”. Hunt added that he wanted to “maintain a financial incentive to choose vaping over smoking”. The change comes into force from October 2026. The chancellor also reiterated the government’s intention to ban disposable vapes “as soon as possible”. In a measure campaigners said would help tackle the “pocket money” pricing that has attracted so many young children to vaping, vapes will be taxed at three rates: nicotine free, nicotine (less than 11mg of nicotine per millilitre), and high nicotine (at least 11mg per millilitre). These will be set at ￡1, ￡2, and ￡3 per 10ml of liquid respectively, and will be charged to UK manufacturers or importers. The Office for Budget Responsibility, which measures the impact of the budget, said the levy would mean a product in the high nicotine category selling for ￡3 would double in price to more than ￡6. It said the tax would raise ￡500m by the 2028-29 financial year. Jeremy Hunt leaving 11 Downing Street Budget 2024: Hunt gambles with highest tax burden since second world war Read more The move was welcomed by other bodies, but the government was asked to ensure that any proceeds from taxation go to tackling the environmental and public health consequences of vaping. Kaya Comer Schwartz, the vice-chair of the Local Government Association’s community wellbeing board, said: “It is good that the government are taking decisive action to make vaping products less affordable to minors … We urge government to ensure the proceeds from the tax are specifically targeted for environmental, public health and enforcement purposes. “This will help to tackle the pocket-money prices vapes are currently available for, deterring children from using them and helping the clampdown on illicit products.” The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) said it had long called for a vape tax “to help tackle the challenges posed by the illicit market in vapes”. A spokesperson said: “By treating vapes as an excise product, and a tax on sales, it means that there will be more eyes on the product itself from enforcement agencies including Border Force and HMRC and this should help us clamp down further on the illicit market in vapes.” The government will also provide ￡30m of funding to support the work of enforcement agencies including trading standards from the beginning of April. Currently, vaping products and non-tobacco nicotine are taxed at 20% VAT, with a lower 5% rate for e-cigarettes regulated as medicines. Ministers fear that the relatively cheap cost of vaping has made it increasingly appealing to young people and non-smokers. The new tax would be similar to 15 schemes in European countries, including Germany, where a €1.60 (￡1.37) tax is charged on every 10ml of vape liquid, and Italy where the rate is €1.30. The EU is also planning to impose a vaping levy across the 27-nation bloc. 5.完整新聞連結 (或短網址)不可用YAHOO、LINE、MSN等轉載媒體: https://reurl.cc/M4mEQm 6.備註: 傑瑞米·杭特 Jeremy Hunt 英國保守黨政治家，2005年當選西南薩里議員，現任英國財政大臣，曾任 文化大臣、衛生大臣、外交大臣。 綠共真他媽的「先禁國家」，懶得管電子菸就直接先禁掉，然後台灣官員講那些幹話， 英國菸害防制領先台灣多少年？ 英國官員再次說明電子菸幫助戒煙， 而且電子菸可以課徵菸稅菸捐。 民進黨噁心，非常噁心！ 英國公共衛生局(PHE)電子煙成果報告影片2018年 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpHVe4YeaSY 201902 英國公共衛生局PHE 菸草減害實驗影片(短版) 中文字幕 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l87LRuI2Bnw 董氏林清麗 姚思遠 遭嗆菸害防制做半套 不敢提禁止香菸/紙菸20190513 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycZxNOPSU8Q 別讓醫藥商不高興》民進黨柯建銘：加熱菸不含尼古丁，尼古丁電子煙一定禁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMk5E-TzR8o 衛生福利部次長 石崇良 早已知道紐西蘭衛福部電子菸減害戒煙策略(Vapingfacts) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg1Km-Lz1yY 台安醫院醫師吳憲林：電子煙當菸品管是國際主流 禁止電子煙是少數 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DbE3dHlvK0&t=4s 《上樑不正下樑歪》國健署長吳昭軍跟衛福部長陳時中一樣不誠實：「電子煙」不是菸 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZy5HIfH_XE 英國的影片，結果英國已跳脫了，台灣還在繼續吸菸救長照、吸煙救健保、圖利醫藥財團 「吸煙救國」英國首相：紙菸每年殺死10萬人 我們能得到什麼？ 每年40億英鎊稅收 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTWa7uKTsDY 【戰神你抽煙 我貪污 你能拿我怎樣？】請強力分享！｜國會調查兵團 cic tw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLAvKBgcPjo -- https://i.imgur.com/621ia33.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PPmqCOI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0YO0JoW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/iCELafr.jpg WHO FCTC 菸草減害專家 王郁揚Danny(Yu-Yang) Wang https://i.imgur.com/xnVyBc9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2Fi1w1C.jpg 台灣禁菸聯盟 ABC#TAIWAN、無煙台灣基金會FSFT、台灣菸草減害協會TTHRA。 台灣威卜 菸草減害網路媒體 VAPE TAIWAN https://vapetaiwan-media.com/ --
