Cancer Council WA supports new legislation strengthening tobacco and vape control, including penalties for illicit sales.Summary
Cancer Council WA has applauded the Western Australian government's amended Bill to strengthen tobacco and vape laws, acknowledging the bipartisan support it received in Parliament. The amendments to the Tobacco Products Control Act 2006 aim to deter businesses involved in the sale of illicit tobacco and vapes through significant penalties and potential closure. The Council anticipates a second set of amendments later this year and hopes these changes will modernize WA’s tobacco legislation, protect public health, and address emerging challenges. Resources are available to help people quit smoking and vaping, including makesmokinghistory.tips and cleartheair.org.au for young people.
