Victoria Promises the Toughest Penalties in the Country and a New Licensing Scheme for Tobacco Retailers
The Victorian government will introduce a tobacco licensing scheme and establish a tobacco regulator as part of new legislation. Police will also be given greater powers to search for illegal tobacco, and retailers breaking the law will face the toughest penalties in the country. The government is hoping the new laws are passed by parliament by the end of the year.
