Considering sprawling regulations on vaping and alternative nicotine products worldwide, the WVA collected pricing of the most popular vaping and alternative tobacco products, including heated tobacco, across 13 European countries. The research covers popular destinations in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and the UK among others.
For vapers travelling across Europe during the holiday period, the UK and Czech Republic ranked the most budget-friendly options when it comes to closed systems, while Poland and Austria remain the most attractive for oral tobacco users.
Those who like filling their vapes with e-liquids manually, should go to Spain or France, as those two countries offer the best prices for open system devices.
The UK also offers a greater availability of disposable vapes and heated tobacco products, according to the research.
“As vapers and travellers, we always run into the issue of finding desired products but also are frequently surprised with price differences. We hope this research helps vapers and alternative tobacco users more clarity on what to expect during their Christmas holiday travel,” says Mariam Gogolshvili, WVA campaign manager and co-author of the research.
The information used in the research was acquired online based on open-source search. The products listed in the research were used based on popularity and personal preferences yet are subject to review based on consumer feedback.
The World Vapers’ Alliance has detailed its findings on its website.
The World Vapers’ Alliance says it “amplifies the voice of vapers worldwide and empowers them to make a difference in their communities. Our members are vapers associations and individual vapers from all over the world.”
