A new UK excise duty on vaping products starts today, 1 October 2026. Here is what the £2.20 per 10ml duty, new vape duty stamps and higher tobacco duty mean in Wales.
WORK WITH ASH WALES
Change in Wales happens when people work together.
ASH Wales works with health services, local authorities, schools, researchers, enforcement teams, charities, community organisations and people with lived experience.
If your work connects with smoking, vaping, nicotine, prevention or tobacco control, there is probably a route for us to work together.
How do you want to work with us?
Start with the route that best matches what you need. You do not need to know the right team or programme before getting in touch.
Partner with us

Bring tobacco and nicotine expertise into your work
We can contribute evidence, Wales-specific insight, campaign experience and practical resources. That might mean joining a working group, speaking at an event, contributing to a consultation, supporting a local project or connecting you with the right people.
We are especially interested in work that can reduce smoking-related inequalities, prevent nicotine use among children and young people, strengthen tobacco control or make it easier for communities to act.
We regularly work with…
- Public health and NHS teams
- Local authorities and enforcement
- Schools, colleges and youth services
- Researchers and universities
- Charities and community organisations
- Policy and decision-makers
Professional networks
Some of the most useful work happens when people who see different parts of the problem are in the same conversation.
ASH Wales helps bring together organisations and professionals working across tobacco control, health, policy and prevention in Wales.
