Britain’s Smoking & Vaping Tax Shock | Leicester News

Smokers and vapers in Britain are bracing for steep new tax hikes—vapers pay an extra $2.20 per 10ml bottle, smokers face a $2.20 increase per 100 cigarettes. Heavy users could see monthly costs spike by nearly $80, pushing some toward dangerous unregulated products with unknown chemicals and unsafe batteries. Experts urge caution: only buy from trusted, registered sellers. Beyond pricing, major restrictions start October 29th: nicotine products (including zero-nicotine vapes) will be age-restricted to 18+, vending machines banned, free samples and promotions outlawed, and on-the-spot fines for underage sales. The government’s goal? Encourage vaping over smoking while curbing youth access. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
