While <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/eliquid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vaping liquid</a> currently falls under VAT, there’s talk of a separate levy being introduced.</p><p>Sources suggest that the government is considering following the lead of other European countries like Germany and Italy, which already tax vapes. This potential change in fiscal policy could impact the cost of vaping for consumers in the UK.</p><p>The Chancellor will reveal the Budget, covering the government’s tax and spending plans, at around <strong>12:30pm on March 6th</strong>. Let’s take a look at what the chancellor could announce and how it will affect you.</p><h3>How Would a Tax on Vaping Work?</h3><p><strong>Consider this:</strong> The average UK vaper typically goes through a 10ml bottle of e-liquid in a week, shelling out approximately <strong>£4</strong> under the current regime. However, across the Channel, Germany imposes a <strong>£1.40 tax</strong> on similar-sized bottles, with plans underway to double this levy to an eye watering <strong>£2.80</strong> <strong>by 2026</strong>.</p><p>Recent discussions have even hinted at the possibility of tiered taxation, with <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/nicotine-shots/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">higher nicotine products</a> facing steeper levies.</p><p>Yet, even amidst talks of a new vape tax, vaping products could maintain their allure as a more <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/site-news/cost-of-living-crisis-switch-to-vaping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">affordable alternative to traditional tobacco</a>. In a parallel move, Sunak had previously announced a 2% above-inflation hike on all tobacco products during the Autumn Statement last November.</p><p>Moreover, a hefty 10% surge in duty on hand-rolled cigarettes was also unveiled—a hit directly aimed at smokers’ wallets.</p><p>As the anticipation builds for the upcoming Budget, whispers suggest that smokers might face yet another hit as tobacco duties could see a further spike. Rumours hint at a possible scenario where a standard pack of 20 cigarettes could set consumers back an average of £16 post-Budget.</p><h3>What Do You Think About A Possible Vape Tax?</h3><p style="text-align: left;"><div id="reviews-io-survey-widget" widget-id="JkAKU0bCzpmMxGQD" store-name="e-liquids-uk" campaign-id="1362" lang="en"></div><script src='https://widget.reviews.io/modern-widgets/survey.js'></script> <h3></h3><h3>Would A Tax on Vaping Really Help The UK Economy?</h3><p>Supporters of a vaping tax believe it could help governments raise more money to fund important things like an underfunded NHS and declining public services we all use daily. Plus, by making vaping more expensive, people might not use it as much, which could be better for their health in the long run and help them save money.</p><p>However, it’s not that simple, a tax on vaping could do the complete opposite and end up forcing people to use unregulated Black Market products due to the rising costs or back to traditional smoking entirely. This would then once again increase the strain on the NHS and eradicate the gains made due to the cost of smoking related illnesses and complications.</p><h3>Our Conclusion; Potential Vape Tax and Levy</h3><p>As taxes might go up for both vaping and tobacco, people have to make choices. Will smokers <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/industry-research/switching-to-vaping-can-improve-mental-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">switch to vaping</a> because it might be cheaper, or will vaping lose its appeal if it gets too expensive? We’ll have to wait and see how things turn out as the Budget is announced and the future of vaping in the UK becomes clearer.</p><p><a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk" target="_blank"><strong>E-Liquids UK</strong></a>, is closely monitoring the developments surrounding the Chancellor’s Spring budget. As key stakeholders in the vaping industry, we recognise the importance of staying informed about potential changes that could impact our customers and the wider vaping community.</p><h4><strong>Update 7/03/2024 – Vape Tax Confirmed for 2026:</strong></h4><div style="padding-bottom: 56.25%; max-width: 100%; position: relative;"><iframe style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ab-_DJj4CIM?modestbranding=1&iv_load_policy=3" width="800" height="450" frameborder="0"></iframe></div><p> </p><p>The UK Government, in its Budget for 2024, revealed plans to implement a new Vaping Products Duty <strong>starting October 2026</strong>. This consultation outlines the proposed structure and execution of the duty, which will coincide with a one-time increase in tobacco duties.</p><p>Earlier in January 2024, the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) announced forthcoming restrictions on vaping products, including <strong><a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/politics-campaigns/uk-government-plans-to-ban-disposable-vapes/" target="_blank">regulations on the supply and sale of disposable vapes</a></strong>. This consultation, led by HM Treasury and HM Revenue and Customs, builds upon these initiatives by proposing how a vaping duty could further address the risks associated with vaping. The aim of the duty is to discourage vaping among young people and non-smokers, while preserving the financial incentive for smokers to opt for vaping as an alternative.</p><p>Additionally, HMRC has released <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/understanding-the-vaping-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">independent research</a> on the vaping market.</p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/vaping-news/a-new-uk-tax-on-vaping-2024/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <media:content url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ab-_DJj4CIM" medium="video" width="1280" height="720"> <media:player url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ab-_DJj4CIM" /> <media:title type="plain">New tax on vapes announced in Budget</media:title> <media:description type="html"><![CDATA[Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has confirmed a new duty on vaping products from October 2026 "to discourage non-smokers from taking up vaping".However, he said that ...]]></media:description> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/UK-Vaping-Tax-Chancellors-March-2024-Budget.png" /> <media:rating scheme="urn:simple">nonadult</media:rating> </media:content> </item> <item> <title>Scotland To Ban Single-Use Vapes In 2025</title> <link>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/politics-campaigns/scotland-to-ban-single-use-vapes-in-2025/</link> <comments>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/politics-campaigns/scotland-to-ban-single-use-vapes-in-2025/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Antony]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 26 Feb 2024 17:43:58 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Politics & Campaigns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Industry Research]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Children]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disposable Vape]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Environmental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Flavour Bans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Healthcare]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Parliament]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Scotland]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UK Government]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vape Ban]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.e-liquids.uk/?p=370718</guid> <description><![CDATA[New Legislation Proposed To Ban Disposable Vapes In 2025.

The decision comes as a result of recommendations gathered from a widespread consultation titled ‘Creating a Smoke-free Generation and Tackling Youth Vaping’, which engaged participants across Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland last year.</p><figure id="attachment_370727" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-370727" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-370727" title="Lorna Slater In Scottish Parliment" src="https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/lorna-slater-in-scottish-parliment-800x691.jpg" alt="Lorna Slater In Scottish Parliment" width="300" height="259" srcset="https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/lorna-slater-in-scottish-parliment-800x691.jpg 800w, https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/lorna-slater-in-scottish-parliment-768x664.jpg 768w, https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/lorna-slater-in-scottish-parliment-510x441.jpg 510w, https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/lorna-slater-in-scottish-parliment.jpg 928w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-370727" class="wp-caption-text"><Strong>Circular Economy Minister, Lorna Slater.</Strong></figcaption></figure><p>Circular Economy Minister, Lorna Slater, highlighted the importance of this legislative step, stating, “<a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/vaping-news/uk-flavour-ban/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Legislating to ban the sale and supply of single-use vapes</a> fulfils a Programme for Government commitment to reduce vaping among non-smokers and young people and take action to tackle their environmental impact.”</p><h3>Public Support for Tougher Action</h3><p>The consultation process revealed strong support for stricter measures on vaping, driven by concerns ranging from environmental hazards to public health risks. Slater emphasized the environmental threat posed by single-use vapes, citing instances of fires in waste facilities and the alarming statistic that over 26 million <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/vape-hardware/vape-kits/disposables/" target="_blank">disposable vapes</a> were consumed and discarded in Scotland within a year.</p><p>“These proposed changes to the law demonstrate our absolute commitment to further improve the wellbeing of communities and protecting our beautiful natural environment,” Slater affirmed.</p><h3>Background and Consultation Details</h3><p>The draft legislation, currently open for consultation until <strong>March 8, 2024</strong>, draws upon powers under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. This legislative approach has been successfully utilized in the past to ban items such as microbeads, cotton buds, and single-use plastics. Regulations stemming from this legislation will be introduced to the Scottish <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/politics-campaigns/parliament-listens-to-experts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parliament</a> before the summer.</p><p>Scotland’s ban on single-use vapes aligns with efforts across the UK, with collaborative work between the Scottish Government, the UK Government, and other nations to address the issue comprehensively. This includes navigating potential challenges such as exclusions from the UK Internal Market Act through the Resources and Waste Common Framework.</p><h3>Environmental Impact and Urgent Action</h3><p>Zero Waste Scotland’s estimates underscore the urgent need for action, revealing that a significant portion of disposable vapes—up to 26 million—were improperly discarded in Scotland last year. Not only does this pose environmental hazards, but it also imposes substantial <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/vaping-news/local-authorities-are-seizing-illegal-vapes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">costs on local authorities</a> for cleanup and waste management. Slater emphasized the risk of fires at waste centers and on collection vehicles due to improperly disposed vapes, highlighting the potential danger to both public safety and taxpayer-funded equipment.</p><h3>Looking Ahead: Legislation and Collaboration</h3><p>In addition to the ban on single-use vapes, legislative measures to raise the tobacco age of sale will be pursued, initially through UK-wide legislation requiring a <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/site-information/glossary/legislative-consent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Legislative Consent Motion (LCM)</a>.</p><p>In conclusion, Scotland’s proposed ban on single-use vapes represents a significant stride towards safeguarding public health and the environment. By implementing proactive measures and fostering collaboration, policymakers aim to create a healthier, more <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/industry-research/vape-sector-needs-sustainability/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sustainable future</a> for generations to come.</p><p>You can share you views on the draft legislation by visiting the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/environmental-protection-single-use-vapes-scotland-regulations-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (Scotland) Regulations 2024</strong></a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/politics-campaigns/scotland-to-ban-single-use-vapes-in-2025/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Have You Tried Nicotine Pouches?</title> <link>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/getting-started/have-you-tried-nicotine-pouches/</link> <comments>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/getting-started/have-you-tried-nicotine-pouches/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Antony]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 26 Feb 2024 13:05:40 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Getting Started]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Product Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Addiction]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nicotine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nicotine Cravings]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nicotine Strength]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Quit Smoking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Quit Vaping]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UK Government]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UK Vape Shop]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.e-liquids.uk/?p=370707</guid> <description><![CDATA[A Comprehensive Guide to Nicotine Pouches In recent years, nicotine pouches have emerged as a popular alternative for those seeking a convenient and discreet way to enjoy nicotine without the cigarettes.

In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the world of nicotine pouches, exploring what they are, how they’re used, and their <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/health-studies/8-real-benefits-of-nicotine/" target="_blank">potential role in smoking cessation efforts</a>.</p><h3>What are Nicotine Pouches?</h3><p><a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/nicotine-pouches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicotine Pouches</a> are small, discreet pouches containing nicotine and other ingredients such as plant fibers, flavourings, and pH adjusters. Unlike traditional tobacco products, nicotine pouches do not require combustion or inhalation, making them smoke-free and often odorless.</p><h3>How Strong Are Nicotine Pouches?</h3><figure id="attachment_363612" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-363612" style="width: 250px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/nicotine-pouches/white-fox-16mg-tight-nicotine-pouches" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-363612" title="White Fox 16mg Tight Nicotine Pouches" src="https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/white-fox-16mg-tight-nicotine-pouches.png" alt="White Fox 16mg Tight Nicotine Pouches" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/white-fox-16mg-tight-nicotine-pouches.png 600w, https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/white-fox-16mg-tight-nicotine-pouches-340x340.png 340w, https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/white-fox-16mg-tight-nicotine-pouches-510x510.png 510w, https://www.e-liquids.uk/wp-content/uploads/white-fox-16mg-tight-nicotine-pouches-100x100.png 100w" sizes="(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-363612" class="wp-caption-text"><A Href="Https://Www.e-Liquids.uk/Nicotine-Pouches/White-Fox-16Mg-Tight-Nicotine-Pouches/" Target="_Blank" Rel="Noopener" Data-Schema-Attribute="Mentions"><Em><Strong>White Fox 16Mg Nicotine Pouches</Strong></Em></A></figcaption></figure><p>Nicotine pouches typically come in a range of strengths to accommodate different nicotine preferences and tolerance levels. Common strengths include low (3-6 mg), medium (7-9 mg), and high (10+ mg) concentrations of nicotine. Choosing the right strength is important for achieving the desired nicotine satisfaction while minimising the risk of nicotine dependence.</p><h3>How to Use Nicotine Pouches:</h3><p>Using nicotine pouches is simple and straightforward. To use, simply place a pouch between your gum and lip, similar to how you would use chewing tobacco. Allow the pouch to rest in place for a few moments to allow the nicotine to absorb into your bloodstream. Unlike traditional oral tobacco products, nicotine pouches do not require spitting and can be discreetly used in various settings.</p><h3>Are They Being Banned in the UK?</h3><p>As of now, nicotine pouches are not subject to the same regulations as tobacco products in the UK. However, there have been discussions and <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/politics-campaigns/uk-government-plans-to-ban-disposable-vapes/" target="_blank">proposals to regulate nicotine pouches</a> similarly to tobacco products, including restrictions on advertising and sales to minors. While the regulatory landscape may evolve, nicotine pouches remain legally available for adult consumers in the UK.</p><h3>Are Nicotine Pouches A Good Way to Quit Smoking?</h3><p>For individuals looking to quit smoking or vaping, nicotine pouches may offer a viable alternative. By providing a source of nicotine without the harmful toxins found in smoke or vapour, nicotine pouches can help alleviate cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with nicotine dependence. When used as part of a comprehensive cessation program that includes behavioural support and counselling, nicotine pouches can be an effective tool for quitting smoking or vaping.</p><p>Here at <a href="https://www.e-liquids.uk" target="_blank"><strong>E-Liquids UK</strong></a> we believe nicotine pouches offer a smoke-free and discreet way to enjoy nicotine, providing an alternative for those seeking to reduce or eliminate their reliance on traditional tobacco products. With a range of strengths available and simple usage instructions, nicotine pouches can be a convenient option for adult consumers. While the regulatory landscape may evolve, nicotine pouches remain a legal and accessible choice for individuals looking to manage their nicotine intake. Whether used as part of a smoking cessation strategy or simply as a smoke-free nicotine option, nicotine pouches have the potential to play a valuable role in promoting public health and reducing the harms associated with tobacco use.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/getting-started/have-you-tried-nicotine-pouches/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>E-Liquids UK Partners with Noda Pay</title> <link>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/site-news/partnered-noda-pay/</link> <comments>https://www.e-liquids.uk/news/site-news/partnered-noda-pay/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Antony]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 18 Feb 2024 12:27:57 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Site News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Euro]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GBP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Noda Pay]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Payment Gateway]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Payments]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Site Updates]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UK Vape Shop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[USD]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vaping News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.e-liquids.uk/?p=369580</guid> <description><![CDATA[In the rapidly evolving world of e-commerce, ensuring seamless and secure payment transactions is paramount for both businesses and consumers alike.
