Latest Study by WVA on Affordable E-Cigarettes in Europe
WVA study shows Poland, UK, Czech Republic, and Austria as most affordable for e-cigarettes in Europe.

The latest research by the World Vaping Alliance (WVA) shows that Poland, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, and Austria are the most affordable European countries for electronic cigarettes.


WVA has collected pricing data and ranked the most popular electronic cigarettes, tobacco alternatives, and nicotine products in 13 European countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.


For e-cigarette users traveling in Europe, the United Kingdom and Czech Republic have been identified as the most cost-effective options for closed-system e-cigarette products, while Spain or France are recommended for open-system devices. As for oral tobacco, Poland and Austria were found to be the most attractive.


As e-cigarette users and travelers, we have always found it challenging to locate the products we need while being frequently surprised by price discrepancies. Our aim with this research is to assist e-cigarette users and tobacco alternative consumers in gaining a better understanding of what to expect during the Christmas holiday travel season," said Mariam Gogolshvili, Event Manager at WVA and co-author of the study.


The second bus tour of the World Vapers' Alliance (WVA) coincides with the European Union's "Electronic Cigarette Products Directive". Earlier this year, WVA launched their second tour starting in Strasbourg, with the aim of spreading the message that electronic cigarettes can save millions of lives. WVA representatives met with several Members of the European Parliament to present their "Electronic Cigarette Products Directive", demonstrating how e-cigarettes can be used as a tool to harness their potential for public health. Along with an art installation titled "Don't Let 19 Million Lives Perish", this message will be spread to ten cities across six countries between October and November 2022.


Furthermore, this event coincides with the ongoing European tobacco legislation and the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) review. The WVA has previously participated in a public call by the EU Commission, requesting evidence to oppose the ban on flavorings and excessive regulation. Through this initiative, the organization aims to once again amplify the voice of the European vaping community and share their experiences of quitting smoking through e-cigarettes.
