BRITS who vape are facing a tax hike - with prices set to rocket by a quarter. Vapers will be slapped with higher prices as part of a smoking crackdown to stop children from buying e-cigs.

Now, there will be a vape tax of 50c per ml of e-liquid. While this means a typical disposable vape of €8 will now cost €9.23, bottles of e-liquid will be significantly more expensive.
