Tobacco products tax applies to tobacco-free natural stone water pipe product

A company has requested a ruling on whether a product consisting of natural stones, glycerol, propylene glycol, and flavourings for inhalation via a water pipe is subject to excise duty. The Directorate-General for Taxes (DGT) has ruled that, as it has no medicinal function and is capable of being smoked, it is classified as a tobacco product.
