Tobacco
Tobacco licensing aims to regulate smoking in certain public places and workplaces. It also regulates the packaging, advertising and display of tobacco and other smoking products. Tobacco licensing prohibits the sale and supply of tobacco and other smoking products to children.
The Tobacco Control Act and Tobacco Control Regulations generally restrict or prohibit smoking in all enclosed public spaces, including supermarkets, shopping centres, restaurants and office buildings. The Act also imposes limitations on where patrons can smoke in hotels and clubs.
Current Issues
The licensing provisions of the Tobacco Act came into effect on 31 May 2003. It is now an offence to sell tobacco without a licence in the Northern Territory.
