A FINAL CHANGE CONCERNS PERSONS AUTHORISED TO ISSUE NOTICES AND INITIATE ACTION FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE TOBACCO ADVERTISING PROVISIONS.
SECTION 11 OF THE TOBACCO ACT IN RELATION TO ADVERTISING LIMITS SUCH AUTHORISED PERSONS TO INSPECTORS AND PERSONS AUTHORISED FOR PURPOSES OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH ACT.
HOWEVER, INSPECTORS DO NOT NORMALLY VISIT PREMISES OTHER THAN THOSE WHERE FOOD IS PREPARED OR SOLD.
THIS IGNORES A LARGE NUMBER OF PLACES WHERE TOBACCO ADVERTISING MAY OCCUR.
TO ENSURE THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TOBACCO ACT CONCERNING THE PROHIBITION AND REMOVAL OF TOBACCO ADVERTISING CAN BE IMPLEMENTED, AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED WHICH ALLOW THE MINISTER TO AUTHORISE OFFICERS WITH REGARD TO CONTRAVENTION OF SECTION 10 OF THE TOBACCO ACT.
OVERALL, THESE CHANGES WILL PERMIT THE MORE EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF ILLEGAL TOBACCO ADVERTISING IN THE A.C.T.
THE INFORMATION AND EDUCATION PROCESS IS ALSO CONTINUING.
