Tobacco Products (Licensing) Act

The Tobacco Products Regulations Act, 1997 is the Act in South Australia that regulates tobacco sales, distribution and use of tobacco, including areas where smoking is prohibited.

The Tobacco Products Regulation (Further Restrictions) Amendment Bill 2004 was passed in Parliament in October 2004. As part of the changes to the tobacco laws, effective from the 31st March 2005, RevenueSA is no longer responsible for the administration of Tobacco Merchant's Licences. This responsibility now lies with the Department of Health, Environmental Health Service.
