May I be so bold as to put some perspective on this. By the way, before I go on, may I say that I am a dual user, ie I smoke cigarettes, vape ecigs, oh, and a triple crown, use an inhalator (NRT device) when nothing else is possible. OK, this is EU tax not British tax, the EU do not have the ridiculous revenue on tobacco that the UK does. Next, come on folk, this is sin tax, if we enjoy something, alcohol, tobacco, then they tax it. By the way, they already impose extortionate revenue on NRT products.
