In Jordan, for instance, where the excise tax on vapes is a staggering 200 per cent, smoking rates remain alarmingly high, one of the highest globally at 65 per cent. As a result of its high taxes, the illicit trade has surged in recent years, accounting for 90 per cent of the market. But this isn’t unique to Jordan. In Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where vapes are taxed similarly to cigarettes, the sizes of the illegal markets are practically the same, at between 85-90 per cent.
