Extra €1 on a box of cigarettes

i'm more worried about the 50 cent per ml on Vape Juice. I can buy a 100ml bottle now for about €15 so this is going to increase in price 5 fold to €65 !. The government parties will feel my ire in the next election as that's just off the wall. 500% increase in one budget !!!

Travelling somewhere abroad mainly to buy cheap cigarettes is kind of pathetic to be honest.

Going out of your way to buy something that kills you.

Insanity meets idiocy.

Can someone elaborate that? My wife pointed that out to me earlier- but I dismissed it as a mistake.
If true, it is a huge price increase.

e-Cigarettes (e-liquid excise)​

I am introducing a domestic tax on e-cigarettes on public health grounds as there has been a significant rise in their use. The tax will apply to all e-liquids at a rate of 50c per ml of e-liquid. A typical disposable vape contains 2ml of e-liquid, and costs in the region of €8. This new tax will bring the price of such a product to €9.23 including VAT. Due to the operational and administrative challenges associated with this measure it will not commence until the middle of next year and therefore will be subject to a commencement order.

While this means a typical disposable vape of €8 will now cost €9.23, bottles of e-liquid will be significantly more expensive.
...
Currently, a standard 10ml bottle of e-liquid costs anywhere between €3-€5. With the Government bringing in a 50c tax per ml, these bottles used for reusable vapes will now be €5 more expensive.

Unfortunately some people are addicted. So combining a little break or a pleasant day trip to a fantastic city with legally avoiding punitive costs here is what many people do.
