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.
