The cost of vaping and smoking will increase following tax rises announced in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Budget.<\/b><\/p>\n

A new tax on vapes of \u00a32.20 per 10ml of e-cigarette liquid will kick in from October 2026.<\/p>\n

That will be accompanied by an equivalent increase of \u00a32.20 per 100 cigarettes in tobacco duty to \"maintain the financial incentive to switch from tobacco to vaping\".<\/p>\n

Reeves also set out immediate above-inflation increases of 2% on tobacco and 10% for hand-rolled tobacco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In its last Budget before losing the election, the previous Conservative government said it wanted to introduce a vaping tax and set up a consultation on the changes.<\/p>\n

The consultation said the tax aimed to make vaping \"less accessible to young people and non-smokers while also raising revenue for funding vital public services like the NHS\".<\/p>\n

It had proposed different levels of tax based on the amount of nicotine in the vaping liquid. However, Reeves has instead opted for a flat rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
