So yes, that sounds like a lot of restrictions for a product designed to reduce the risks associated with smoking. It will have quite an impact on our habits, but it will not be unmanageable. It will prevent any bad practices and guarantee precise, safe nicotine delivery, as you will be vaping controlled, laboratory-finished products.
As far as the tax is concerned, it's obviously a negative point, but vaping will remain much cheaper than smoking, and this tax will have the benefit of establishing vaping as a controlled, monitored, and responsible practice. We will no longer be marginals or witch doctors but acknowledged vapers. We can also expect to see a reduced choice in shops, since manufacturers and retailers will have to consider other aspects, such as new labelling, and some brands may not be able to do this because of the small Swiss market size.
But don't worry, there will still be many months to go before compliance is achieved, as the authorities seem to be opting for a 'smooth' transition.
All in all, if you vape liquids above 6mg/ml, you'll have to switch to 10ml formats in classic nicotine or nicotine salts. And taxes will of course increase the cost of vaping, but not as much as you might think. In fact, Sweetch strongly encourages you to become one of our Members Plus and enjoy all the benefits that will help to reduce this tax. And we won't stop there, the most important thing for us is and always will be to help you quit smoking, so keep up to date with our activities on the subject.
Thanks for reading.
