As e-cigarettes continue to gain popularity worldwide, governments are increasingly targeting them as a source of tax revenue. Tax authorities correctly recognize that money spent on e-cigarettes is money not spent on traditional tobacco products, which governments have relied on for decades as a source of income. The question of whether vape devices and e-liquids should be taxed like tobacco is hardly the point; governments see that they are driving smokers away from tobacco, and they understand that the lost revenue must be made up. Because vapes look like smoking, and because the public health community is strongly opposed to them, they make an attractive target for politicians, especially since they can justify taxation with various dubious health claims.
