社运人士表示，这项措施将有助于解决吸引年幼儿童使用电子烟的“零用钱”价格问题
杰里米·亨特宣布计划对电子烟产品征税，同时提高烟草税。
在他的英国预算演讲中首次公布他决定使电子烟中使用的尼古丁液体受到货物税的决定时
，亨特表示，为了确保菸草税仍然比电子烟更昂贵，菸草税也将增加。
他表示：“电子烟也可以在帮助人们戒烟方面发挥积极作用”，这就是为什么还将进
行“菸草税的一次性增加”的原因。亨特补充说，他希望“保持一种选择电子菸而不是吸
烟的财政激励”。这一变化将从2026年10月生效。
财政大臣还重申政府“尽快”禁止使用一次性电子烟的意图。
活动人士表示，这项措施将有助于解决吸引许多年幼儿童使用电子烟的“零用钱”价格问
题，电子烟将按三个税率征税：无尼古丁、尼古丁（每毫升不超过11毫克的尼古丁）和高
尼古丁（每毫升至少11毫克）。这些将分别设定为每10毫升液体1英镑、2英镑和3英镑，
将向英国制造商或进口商收取。
负责评估预算影响的预算责任办公室表示，这项征税意味着高尼古丁类别的产品售价3英
镑的产品价格将翻倍，增至6英镑以上。它表示，该税将在2028-29财政年度前筹集500百
万英镑。
其他机构对此举表示欢迎，但要求政府确保税收的任何收益都用于应对电子烟对环境和公
共健康的影响。
地方政府协会社区福祉委员会副主席凯亚·科默·施瓦茨表示：“政府正在果断采取行动
，使电子烟产品对未成年人不再那么可负担…我们敦促政府确保税收的收益专门用于环境
、公共卫生和执法目的。
“这将有助于解决电子烟目前的零用钱价格问题，阻止儿童使用它们，并有助于打击非法
产品。”
特许贸易标准协会（CTSI）表示，该协会长期以来一直呼吁对电子烟征税，以应对非法电
子烟市场带来的挑战。发言人表示：“通过将电子烟视为一种货物税和销售税，意味着执
法机构，包括边境部队和税收和海关总署，将更加密切关注该产品，这应该有助于进一步
打击非法电子烟市场。”
政府还将从4月初开始提供3000万英镑的资金，以支持执法机构，包括商业标准。
目前，电子烟产品和非烟草尼古丁都按20%的增值税征收，对作为药品规管的电子烟则适
用较低的5%税率。政府担心电子烟的相对低价格使其对年轻人和非吸烟者越来越具吸引力
。
这项新税将与欧洲15个国家的计划类似，包括德国，那里每10毫升电子烟液体要征收1.60
欧元（1.37英镑）的税，以及意大利，那里的税率是1.30欧元。欧盟还计划在27个成员国
实施电子烟
英文：
Campaigners say measure will help tackle ‘pocket money’ pricing that
attracts young children to vaping
Jeremy Hunt has announced plans for a tax on vaping products, along with
increases in tobacco duty.
Unveiling his decision to make the nicotine liquids used in electronic vapes
subject to excise duties for the first time in his UK budget speech, Hunt
said tobacco duty would also increase to ensure it remains more expensive
than vaping.
He said “[e-cigarettes] can also play a positive role in helping people quit
smoking”, which is why there would also be a “one-off increase in tobacco
duty”. Hunt added that he wanted to “maintain a financial incentive to
choose vaping over smoking”. The change comes into force from October 2026.
The chancellor also reiterated the government’s intention to ban disposable
vapes “as soon as possible”.
In a measure campaigners said would help tackle the “pocket money” pricing
that has attracted so many young children to vaping, vapes will be taxed at
three rates: nicotine free, nicotine (less than 11mg of nicotine per
millilitre), and high nicotine (at least 11mg per millilitre). These will be
set at ￡1, ￡2, and ￡3 per 10ml of liquid respectively, and will be charged
to UK manufacturers or importers.
The Office for Budget Responsibility, which measures the impact of the
budget, said the levy would mean a product in the high nicotine category
selling for ￡3 would double in price to more than ￡6. It said the tax would
raise ￡500m by the 2028-29 financial year.

The move was welcomed by other bodies, but the government was asked to ensure
that any proceeds from taxation go to tackling the environmental and public
health consequences of vaping.
Kaya Comer Schwartz, the vice-chair of the Local Government Association’s
community wellbeing board, said: “It is good that the government are taking
decisive action to make vaping products less affordable to minors … We urge
government to ensure the proceeds from the tax are specifically targeted for
environmental, public health and enforcement purposes.
“This will help to tackle the pocket-money prices vapes are currently
available for, deterring children from using them and helping the clampdown
on illicit products.”
The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) said it had long called for
a vape tax “to help tackle the challenges posed by the illicit market in
vapes”. A spokesperson said: “By treating vapes as an excise product, and a
tax on sales, it means that there will be more eyes on the product itself
from enforcement agencies including Border Force and HMRC and this should
help us clamp down further on the illicit market in vapes.”
The government will also provide ￡30m of funding to support the work of
enforcement agencies including trading standards from the beginning of April.
Currently, vaping products and non-tobacco nicotine are taxed at 20% VAT,
with a lower 5% rate for e-cigarettes regulated as medicines. Ministers fear
that the relatively cheap cost of vaping has made it increasingly appealing
to young people and non-smokers.
The new tax would be similar to 15 schemes in European countries, including
Germany, where a €1.60 (￡1.37) tax is charged on every 10ml of vape liquid,
and Italy where the rate is €1.30. The EU is also planning to impose a
vaping levy across the 27-nation bloc.
