We believe the £2.20 duty per 10ml of e-liquid places a disproportionate cost on adult vapers, including former smokers, and may discourage people from choosing vaping instead of smoking.","additional_details":"The duty is £2.20 per 10ml of e-liquid. Someone buying ten 10ml bottles a month therefore incurs £22 in duty alone. For low-cost e-liquids, this can represent a very large price increase. The Government says it wants to deter young people and non-smokers while maintaining a financial incentive for smokers to switch. We are concerned this level of duty may undermine that aim for adult smokers and former smokers.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2026-10-02T09:08:51.558Z","updated_at":"2026-10-20T14:23:09.515Z","rejected_at":"2026-10-20T14:23:04.116Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-03T15:35:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nReverse the new tax on vape liquids\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/781073"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
