Tobacco control legislation
Western Australia’s tobacco control laws aim to protect public health by reducing harm from tobacco and vaping products (vapes).
The legislation aims to:
- Regulate the sale and supply of tobacco products, smoking implements and vaping products
- Prohibit supply of illicit tobacco and vapes
- Prohibit the supply of tobacco products to people under 18 years old
- Restrict the advertising and promotion of tobacco and vapes
- Reduce community exposure to second-hand smoke and emissions from vapes
