As of 10 July, the South Australian Government has enforced changes to the Tobacco and E‑Cigarettes Products Act 1997 (TEP Act) that will make the sale of e‑cigarettes that contain nicotine illegal.
The State Government have also announced a crackdown on non-compliance and will be conducting random visits to businesses that sell vapes or e‑cigarettes in the coming months. This will mean there will be stronger requirements for businesses to comply with the nicotine provisions in the Controlled Substances Act 1984.
