Double their price. Make them a tenner. They’ve taxed petrol and pubs to the hilt, make the 15 year old suffer for once!

Would that 17 million pay for the health damage vapes cause ?

“Government is set to double the price of e-cigarette refill cartridges, placing a €5 duty on the products, and add a €1 tax to disposable vapes next year,”
Can they not do this the other way around, the disposable ones are the bigger issue in my opinion.

>Government is set to double the price of e-cigarette refill cartridges, placing a €5 duty on the products, and add a €1 tax to disposable vapes next year, it announced last year.
Considering how many vapes you see around the place, it’s actually pretty surprising that those numbers would only result in an increase of just €17 million in revenue.
Though they should tax the ever loving fuck out of the disposable ones for no reason other than being incredibly wasteful.

€17m seems quite low for how prevalent vape smoking is. Also, walking around Dublin in the summer, the smell of weed always makes me wonder how much revenue we are missing out on by not regukating/taxing it. Imagine how many bike sheds and children’s hospitals we could get with that money!

Yeah let’s make money off vapes…… Let’s not ban them but make money instead and in a few years have hospitals full of people with new cancers that will cost our health dept. even more money
I’d tax the fuck out of disposable ones, because they are such a feckin waste.
With the refills, it just going to get more people buying it online of very very questionable quality.
Keep it cheap, keep the quality controlled and slowly make changes over the course of a generation
(I don’t smoke or vape so doesn’t effect me)

Very silly decision. As a former smoker, who is now vaping, this is the exact opposite of what needs to happen. While vaping isn’t ideal, I am miles better off then when I was smoking cigarettes. Former smokers gravitate to non-disposable and refillable vape devices rather than the disposable gimmicky crap. These re-usable devices also don’t leave around millions of dead batteries all over the country.
You should tax the daylights out of disposable vapes, increase the price of smoking cessation devices like refillable vapes to 50 euros at a minimum so that they are not as attractive to non-smokers and youth, and leave the refillable liquids alone.
Idiotic decisions all around.

People will just start making their own juice. It’s only like 3 ingredients and you can even adjust the strength of the vape through diy.

When I was 13 I was able to buy cigarettes and the state done fuck all to prevent this, I’m now addicted and trying to come off them. Now the State wants to profit of my addiction that they help facilitate, Bit like turning a blind eye to heroin and then taxing methadone for addicts who want to quit. Fuck the capitalist money grabbing state.

Should be banning the disposable vapes really. Thought the government were planning on doing that no?

The Irish government doing as little as they possibly can. Tax, fine, or grant, then fuck off and stop annoying them.
