Currently, France does not apply any specific tax on e-liquids beyond the standard 20% VAT. Unlike tobacco, which bears massive excise duties, vaping remains for now spared from dedicated taxation on our territory. This absence of a special tax explains why vaping remains economically much more advantageous than smoking traditional cigarettes. In short, the price of your bottle depends solely on manufacturing costs and commercial margins without any punitive fiscal surcharge.

However, the subject regularly reappears in parliamentary debates and at the European level to harmonize the taxation of vape products among member countries. While some of our neighbors have already taken the plunge with taxes per milliliter, France currently prioritizes a public health approach without additional financial pressure on vapers. Tax regulations are evolving, but the current logic remains not to hinder smoking cessation through the wallet. It is a precious balance that keeps vaping accessible to as many people as possible.
