Switzerland to stop taxing e-cigarettes as tobacco products

Glad to see it.
As far as I know, Switzerland vendors are not supposed to be selling e-cigarettes and liquid with nicotine, so there is absolutely no reason to tax them as tobacco products.
pass77, the article mentions that NRTs will also not be taxed. Were they actually taxed before this?

I don't know about NRTs, as I never used them, but apparently they were taxed from what I gather.
You are correct, they can't sell eliquid with nicotine in Switzerland (nicotine-free is sold freely though, as are VDs). Import has generally been ok, but there was always the risk that the eliquid would be blocked at customs and that they would require you to pay the tobacco tax. I used to have it delivered to a friend in nearby France, as I'm in Geneva. Guess I won't have to bother him any longer.
