Although there are always legislators working to make e-cigarettes less available (or not available at all), the truth is that vaping is a less-harmful alternative to smoking, and it’s vitally important that ex-smokers have access to the vaping products they love.
Firstly, vaping allows you to control your nicotine intake, choosing the strength of e-liquid that’s right for you. Alternatively, just enjoy the experience with no nicotine at all. It’s also a cost-effective alternative to smoking and provides users with a great deal of flexibility when it comes to flavors. There’s no unpleasant smell as there is with tobacco smoke, either. Vaping helps people relax, provides them with a friendly community of people with similar interests, and – most importantly – helps them quit smoking.
In Canada’s 2024 Budget, the government announced a 12% rise in excise duty rates for vaping products. This increase means an extra 12 cents per standard vape pod in non-participating regions, or 24 cents per standard pod in participating regions. The adjustment aims to align taxation with important health initiatives, protect public health, and ensure responsible consumption, while Canadian vapers may notice slightly higher costs when purchasing pods and related vaping products.
