The article examines the current chaos surrounding excise tax legislation related to electronic cigarettes in Poland, amidst two competing proposals from the Ministry of Finance. It highlights the current legal status of taxing new nicotine technologies in Poland and how the distinct proposals differ in their approach to regulating the e-cigarette market. Each proposal aims to address the same objective of tightening the excise tax system but offers varying methods and implications.

One of the significant discussions within the article focuses on the criticisms surrounding Project UD 308, which has raised concerns among stakeholders about its potential effects on the market and the e-cigarette users. The project has been criticized for possibly creating a more complex regulatory environment that could stifle innovation and accessibility within the e-cigarette sector. In contrast, the other proposal presents a more streamlined approach aimed at achieving the same regulatory goals with fewer complications.

The implications of these proposals are vast, affecting not only the revenue from excise taxes but also the future of e-cigarette regulations in Poland. As the Ministry navigates these conflicting projects, the outcomes will have long-lasting effects on consumers, manufacturers, and the overall structure of the e-cigarette market in Poland, raising questions about public health and economic considerations in the face of evolving nicotine technologies.
