Swiss Government Proposes Taxing E-Cigarettes and Pod Vapes

The Swiss parliament has decided to support the proposal, which is expected to generate approximately 13.8 million Swiss francs (13.8 million dollars) of additional tax revenue per year. The proposed tax rate for pod vapes is 0.20 Swiss francs per milliliter of nicotine-containing e-liquid. For disposable e-cigarettes, the government aims to levy a tax of 1 Swiss franc per milliliter of e-liquid regardless of the nicotine content.

The Swiss government has proposed amending the Tobacco Act to impose new taxes on electronic cigarettes.

The higher tax rate for disposable e-cigarettes is aimed at preventing minors from trying them. The potential appeal of e-cigarettes to young people has caused concern among Swiss authorities. Earlier this year, a nationwide vote was held to limit all tobacco product advertising that could be seen by young people.
