Stop Extra Taxation on Vaping Products Beyond VAT
I am one of the many who have successfully quit smoking, thanks to eCigarettes. On January 2nd, 2018, I smoked my last cigarette and I haven't looked back since.
I urge our lawmakers not to punish those who have found a safer alternative in their fight against nicotine addiction!
While I support environmentally-friendly measures such as banning disposable vapes, imposing extra taxation on all vaping products beyond VAT is not the solution. I wholeheartedly agree that vaping should not be promoted among children or non-smokers.
According to Public Health England (PHE), e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes (E-cigarettes: an evidence update)
It's important to remember that people are quitting smoking with the aid of vapes.
