E-cigarettes have become increasingly popular globally, with sales reaching US $21.2 billion in 2020. We examined national-level e-cigarette excise taxation policies worldwide based on information available in the Institute for Global Tobacco Control’s Policy Scan and other resources, to collect the type of excise tax, the tax base, and any relevant details. This fact sheet presents the landscape of e-cigarette excise tax policies worldwide as of July 2022, and a manuscript based on this study has been published in the journal Tobacco Induced Diseases.
