Violent, sometimes deadly criminal activity,
Threats to public health, and
Billions in taxes stolen from the Australian community.

Vapes and Illegal Tobacco are a corrosive problem in Australia, taking root in our communities and in our homes.

Dear Premier Allan,

Through organised crime networks, thousands of shops are selling illegal vapes and cigarettes under our noses, causing:
 
• Skyrocketing smoking and vaping rates among our youth
• Violent, sometimes deadly criminal activity
• Rising health risks to smokers as smokers smoke more
• Billions in taxes stolen from the Australian community

It needs to stop now.

The solution:

STRIKE 1:   First offence, the vendor is fined, and a notice sent to shop’s landlord advising they can terminate the lease immediately and that a second offence will result in a fine against the Landlord, as well as the tenant.

STRIKE 2:   Second offence, the landlord and the tenant are fined $50K each, and the Landlord is notified that a third offence in this shop will result in much larger fines.

STRIKE 3:  Third offence, the landlord and the tenant are each fined $1 million.

OTHER ENFORCEMENT MEASURES REQUIRED

INCREASE THE FINE: Fines increased to $50,000 per offence of selling illegal tobacco, vapes, tea bags or other nicotine products (illegal nicotine products).

MOBILE OFFENSE: Where a car is used by a person to sell illegal nicotine products, the vehicle is immediately confiscated.

FARMING AND WAREHOUSING NICOTINE PRODUCTS: Where any property is used in the growing or storage of illegal nicotine products, that property be confiscated on detection.

COMMERCIAL TENANCY CHANGES: To enable a Landlord to comply with the above Notices, the Commercial Tenancy ACT be changed to enable the immediate termination of a lease without compensation, upon the landlord becoming aware the tenant is selling, storing or growing illegal nicotine products on their land.
