  1. The key major effects regarding the vapes:

    > A new excise duty is to be introduced on vapes and e-cigarettes from the middle of next year.
    >
    > A domestic tax of 50c per millilitre of e-liquid will be introduced – adding around €1.23 to the cost of a typical, disposable vape.

    > However, due to the operational and administrative challenges associated with the introduction of this measure, it would not come into place until the middle of 2025.

  2. I haven’t bought tobacco in Ireland for years, I always just top up on foreign holidays for a quarter the price. Most of the people I know who smoke do the same thing. This must be the biggest jump in price ever, so I expect a lot more people will be importing their tobacco, I wonder do they consider this at all? 

  3. 0.5€ per ml of vape juice, damn
    So 10ml 2 euro bottle is gonna be 7 € now
    Huge increase

    At this point, the smoking area will be the place to find a rich spouse and not a quick shift.

    Look at that shit; it could be cosmetics found in a teenaged girl’s bedroom. Unconscionably cynical marketing.

  6. I get the big bottles of juice, so the 50ml or 100ml bottles. So does that mean just in taxes, a 100ml bottle of vape juice is gonna be 50 euro?

  7. So does this apply to the refillable vapes or not? This needs to be clarified as if it’s true that’s one hell of a price increase for nic shots. The disposables are the problem here. Really hope they’re not penalizing the rest of us who use the refillables.

    Can we legislate getting rid of the the vape stickers while we’re at it? They’re fucking everywhere.

  9. I love how the price hikes on smoking are pretended to have come from a place of care when it’s just to fleece people out of things like most things in this country. Plenty of other countries in Eu with a lower smoking population without fleecing them

  10. My local Chinese tech repair shop won’t be raising the price on the Chinese Marlboro Golds they sell for a fiver a pack
