Wahi a kekahi mau kumu, ke hoʻomākaukau nei nā ʻāina o ka European Union e ʻauhau i ka e-cigarettes ma ke kumu like me nā cigarette kuʻuna. Ma ka Pōʻalima Pepeluali 26, ua ʻae nā ʻelele o nā ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka hana mua i kēia ʻauhau ma ke noi ʻana i ke Komisina ʻEulopa e kākau i kahi " manaʻo kānāwai kūpono no 2017.
Pono e ʻae ʻia kēia papahana me ka ʻole o ke kūkākūkā ʻana i ka wā e hui ai nā kuhina kālā ma ka la 8 o Malaki e hiki mai ana. Me nā ʻike o ke kikoo a na Kuhina, ua oleloia e hiki i ka e-cigarette, a me na hua paka "hou" e ae, ke kumu o " nā kūlike ʻole a me ka maopopo ʻolema ka mākeke inā ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia lākou mai ke dute excise. (ʻO nā dute excise he ʻauhau kūʻokoʻa ma ke kūʻai ʻana a hoʻohana paha i kekahi mau huahana. ʻO kēia ka mea maʻamau i ka nui o ka huahana, e.g. no ke kilo, no ka hl, no ke degere o ka waiona a i ole no 1 apana, etc.)
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia hoʻi nā dute excise a i ʻole he " ʻauhau ʻē aʻe i hāʻawi ʻia" no nā mea paka hou e pili ana i ka mahu ma mua o ka uahi hiki ke kōkua i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka "nā pahuhopu olakino lehulehu". Pono kēia hana ma ka ʻōnaehana ʻauhau hou hooikaika "inā" ʻo ka māhele o kēia mau huahana ma ka mākeke e hōʻike ana i kahi ʻano piʻi“. ʻO ia hoʻi, kahe mau kumukūʻai " e mahuahua ana« .
No ka ʻike, kūʻai ʻia nā e-cigarette ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa €7,5 biliona makahiki aku nei a wānana ka poʻe loiloi e hōʻea lākou i ka € 46 biliona e 2025 a i ʻole 2030. Ma lalo o nā lula o kēia manawa, pono nā ʻāina āpau o EU e kau i kahi dute excise ma kahi o 57% ma nā huahana paka, me ka ʻike ʻana ʻo VAT wale nō ke kau ʻia i nā e-cigarettes (ma kahi o 20%).
29 Pepeluali, Ua ʻōlelo kekahi luna o ka Hui ʻEulopa he "maʻamau" ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai o nā e-cigarette ma hope o ka hui ʻana o ke komisina. No kekahi, ʻAʻole hiki ke haʻi i ka hopena o nā dute excise 
loaʻa ma nā kumukūʻai. »
ʻO nā mea kākoʻo olakino e like me ka Ke Keʻena Research Cancer UK a Uena Puuwai Europa makaʻu i ka nānā ʻole ʻana o ka poʻe lobby ʻoihana i ka ʻepekema. E pili ana i kaʻAʻohe kūlana kikoʻī o ka hapa nui o nā NGO olakino e pili ana i nā cigakeke uila me ka noʻonoʻo he mea hou loa lākou no ka noiʻi paʻa ʻana i nā pōmaikaʻi a me nā pilikia lōʻihi. ʻO ka hope, kaʻO ka European Network for Tobacco Use and Prevention, kahi hui i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Brussels, ke kāhea nei i nā lula koʻikoʻi mai ka EU.
No kāna waha ʻōlelo, ʻo Dominick Nguyen: " ʻAʻole mākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka e-cigarettes, akā e pili ana i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka noiʻi a me ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā ʻikepili e pili ana i nā paka uila e hiki ai ke hoʻoholo i ka ʻike.« . ka Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hoedeman CEO no kāna ʻāpana: " ʻOi aku ka pōʻino o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka e-cigarette i ke ʻano like me ka paka me ka loaʻa ʻole o ka ʻikepili ʻepekema hilinaʻi.".
ʻO ka mea i koe e kali, me ka manaʻolana ʻaʻole e ʻauhau ʻia ka e-cigarette e like me ka paka. I kēia manawa, he mea nui ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa hoʻokele waiwai i ka hoʻoholo ʻana o ka mea puhi paka e hoʻōki i ka puhi.
