How are vapers reacting to the tax hike on e-cigarettes? Quite well actually.

The Budget 2025 introduces a 50c per milliliter tax on e-liquid from mid-next year, raising prices. Vapers have mixed reactions, with some considering quitting due to costs, while others view the tax as a deterrent. Concerns about environmental impact and the perception of punishing those quitting smoking arise. Despite the tax, some vapers will continue if it remains cheaper than smoking. Individuals vary in their responses, from willingness to switch to reusable vapes to acceptance of the price hike. Overall, the tax triggers reflections on behavior change and its implications on vapers' habits and finances.
