Stronger Laws Tackling Illicit Tobacco And Vapes

The ACT Government will increase enforcement against illegal smoking products through the Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Amendment Bill 2025. This bill aims to combat illicit tobacco and e-cigarettes by granting authorities new inspection and penalty powers. The reforms also enhance seizure provisions and officer safety measures. This initiative follows the alignment of vaping laws with federal regulations. Additionally, the government plans to provide substantial funding for smoking and vaping cessation support services. These measures signal a strong stance against illicit tobacco trading, emphasizing collaboration with other jurisdictions.
