Poland vape and e-liquid tax hike gets green light

A plan to hike tax on vapes and e-liquids in Poland has passed a major legal hurdle. 

The legislation – which will see increased excise taxes on vapes and tobacco products – passed a vote in the lower house of parliament with 236 votes for and 188 against, according to Polski Radio.

The proposed law will now pass to the Senate, the upper house of Poland’s parliament, for debate. If approved at that stage, it will be signed into law by President Andrzej Duda.

Sharp staged rises

Under the new bill, the excise tax on e-cigarette liquids will rise sharply, by 75 percent in 2025, followed by 50 percent in 2026 and 25 percent in 2027.

Vapes and other heated devices will see a 50 percent increase in 2025, 20 percent in 2026, and 15 percent in 2027. While snus is legal to use in Poland, it is illegal to buy it there so it isn’t included in the new legislation.

There will also be tax rises for tobacco products. The excise tax on cigarettes will be increased by 25 percent in 2025, followed by 20 percent in 2026, and 15 percent in 2027, according to an announcement by the Polish Prime Minister’s Office.

Το άτμισμα μπορεί να σώσει 200 ​​εκατομμύρια ζωές και οι γεύσεις παίζουν βασικό ρόλο στο να βοηθήσουν τους καπνιστές να κόψουν το κάπνισμα. Ωστόσο, οι υπεύθυνοι χάραξης πολιτικής θέλουν να περιορίσουν ή να απαγορεύσουν τις γεύσεις, θέτοντας σε κίνδυνο την προσπάθειά μας να τερματίσουμε τους θανάτους που σχετίζονται με το κάπνισμα.
