Petition
Cigarettes
The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Mr Rugendyke , from 63 residents:
To the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory
The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:
minors including children are obtaining cigarettes from vending machines; and
following deregulation of business trading hours, adult smokers cannot claim they are reliant on access to tobacco products through vending machines.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to strengthen its commitment to stopping young people from becoming addicted to nicotine by immediately passing legislation prohibiting the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products through vending machines.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petition would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister, the petition was received.
