Romania Introduces Excise Tax On Nicotine-Free E-Liquids And Vapes

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The New Legislation Aims to Regulate the Vape Market, Raising Concerns Among e-Potion Consumers and Businesses.

Sibiu, Romania, July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a bold regulatory shift, the Romanian government has implemented an excise tax on nicotine-free e-liquids and vapes, which sparked intense debate among consumers and industry leaders. This new legislation, now in effect, seeks to tighten control over the booming vape market, raising widespread concerns about its impact on public health initiatives and business operations. Critics argue that the tax would discourage smokers from switching to safer alternatives, which they assert vaping has assumed in recent years, hence its booming industry. Businesses in this sector fear that the increased financial strain will hinder their growth and competitiveness in the market.

A spokesperson for e-Potio , a leading e-liquid manufacturer & vape retailer based in Sibiu, expressed his concerns about the new tax. "This excise tax increases the cost for consumers who are trying to quit smoking by using nicotine-free alternatives. It also places additional financial burdens on businesses like ours that have invested heavily in the vape market," he said.
