According to consumer protection watchdog UOKiK, the Polish e-cigarette market is valued at PLN 0.5 billion/year, and it ranked second biggest in Europe and third in the world. Currently, there are 1.5-1.7 million people who use e-cigarettes in Poland, reported Gazeta Wyborcza. In Poland, e-cigarettes are levied only by VAT, therefore it is competitively priced against traditional cigarettes, for which two thirds of the retail cost is excise tax.
