The Council of States accepted the amendment to the Tobacco Tax Act in the general vote by 40 yes votes to one no vote. Subsequently, the National Council has to deal with the partial revision of the Tobacco Tax Act.

According to its own statement, the Federal Council wants to take into account the lower harmful potential of e-cigarettes with its design. The tax should be correspondingly lower than for classic tobacco cigarettes. Specifically, the tax rate for reusable e-cigarettes should be twenty cents per milliliter of nicotine-containing liquid.

For single-use e-cigarettes, the proposed tax rate is one franc per milliliter of liquid – regardless of nicotine content.
