The cost of vaping and smoking will increase following tax rises announced in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Budget.
A new tax on vapes of £2.20 per 10ml of e-cigarette liquid will kick in from October 2026.
That will be accompanied by an equivalent increase of £2.20 per 100 cigarettes in tobacco duty to "maintain the financial incentive to switch from tobacco to vaping".
Reeves also set out immediate above-inflation increases of 2% on tobacco and 10% for hand-rolled tobacco.
In its last Budget before losing the election, the previous Conservative government said it wanted to introduce a vaping tax and set up a consultation on the changes.
The consultation said the tax aimed to make vaping "less accessible to young people and non-smokers while also raising revenue for funding vital public services like the NHS".
It had proposed different levels of tax based on the amount of nicotine in the vaping liquid. However, Reeves has instead opted for a flat rate.
