Victoria's new tobacco law faces enforcement challenges as inspectors lack power to shut down illicit sellers.
On the first day of Victoria’s new tobacco licensing scheme, smuggled cigarettes were still sold, prompting concerns over enforcement.
Only 14 inspectors are tasked with statewide oversight, and they lack authority to close shops selling illicit tobacco or illegal vaping products.
While the government acknowledges the need for stronger measures and may develop closure laws like Queensland’s, health experts say the current system is insufficient without more resources and power to effectively combat the black market.
