If you vape, expect to pay more for your products at the register in B.C. 

As of Jan.1, the provincial sales tax on vaping devices and substances jumped from seven to 20 per cent. The tax increase applies to e-cigarettes and vape pens, as well as the vapour pods and liquids that go in them and can contain nicotine or cannabis.

The Ministry of Finance says British Columbia is the first province in Canada to introduce a specific tax rate related to vaping products.
