Stop the tax on vapes

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Vaping is a less harmful alternative to tobacco and helps people stop smoking tobacco and reduces pressure on the NHS due to people quitting smoking through vaping. We call on the government to stop the incoming tax on vapes.
Vaping is a less harmful alternative to tobacco and helps people stop smoking tobacco and reduces pressure on the NHS due to people quitting smoking.

Taxing and adding duty to things does not help and creates a black market that creates more problems for the NHS.
