The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Act 2022 (the Amendment Act) came into force on 1 January 2023, with new provisions regulating entry into the smoked tobacco and vaping product markets, providing for the approval of smoked tobacco products, introducing very low nicotine limits, and creating a ‘smokefree generation’.
Regulations are needed to stand up a regulatory regime that will oversee and monitor these changes.
