Vaping Taxes in the United States and Around the
As vaping becomes more popular, governments see it as a new source of tax revenue. Because many vapers are current or former smokers, money spent on e-cigarettes often replaces spending on traditional tobacco, reducing tobacco tax income. Governments have long relied on tobacco taxes and want to recover this lost revenue. Whether vaping should be taxed like tobacco is less important to policymakers than the financial impact. Since vaping resembles smoking and faces public health criticism, politicians find it easy to justify taxing it, often using debatable health arguments.
