The Vaping Tax Cloud Expands
Vapers, get ready for some changes at the checkout. Starting January 1, 2025, vaping is getting more expensive in five Canadian provinces:
- New Brunswick
- Manitoba
- Prince Edward Island
- Alberta
- Yukon
These provinces are joining a federal program that adds an extra tax specifically on vaping products. This means that on top of the regular federal vaping tax, you'll now see a provincial tax added to your vaping purchases.
Understanding the New Tax
Below you'll find a table that visually shows the drastic tax increases that are about to take effect in the previously mentioned provinces. Ontario, Quebec, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut are already collecting the additional harmonized tax and should not be affected by the upcoming changes. Read more.
| Product | Initial Excise Tax 2022 | July 1 2024 Excise | January 1 2025 Excise |
|---|---|---|---|
| STLTH pod pack (3pk) | $3.00 | $3.36 | $6.72 |
| 30mL e-liquid bottle | $7.00 | $7.84 | $15.68 |
| 60mL e-liquid bottle | $10.00 | $11.20 | $22.40 |
| 100mL e-liquid bottle | $14.00 | $15.86 | $31.36 |
| 20mL disposable vape | $6.00 | $6.72 | $13.44 |
What's the damage?
The amount of money the government is taking will effectively be doubled. This means that on a 60mL bottle of e-liquid they'll collect $22.40.
Just a couple of years ago, our most popular 60ml bottles were going for $19.99. Now, the government takes over 100% of that, just in tax.
It's important to recognize that regulation is needed, but many believe there must be a line drawn to allow Canadians to make decisions for themselves.

Ugh absolutely ridiculous. It’s one thing to increase the tax but to increase it by 100% is insane and not fair. I hate the government 😒
