The Irish Times: The Irish government has been urged to tax eLiquids but now is not the time to place such a tax. Smokers need an alternative to tobacco cigarettes so tax tobacco products but give smokers an incentive to move to electronic cigarette products on a tax free basis. If the UK's Royal College of Physicians suggest that the risks in vaping is unlikely to exceed five per cent of those with tobacco products then we should make it easier for smokers to switch.
