Schedule

Code of Practice on Tobacco Product Notices at Points of Sale

The Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 prohibits, with some exceptions, “tobacco product advertisements”. This term is defined very widely so that, among other things, it includes any words and any pictorial representation used to promote the sale of any tobacco product.

One of the exceptions to this prohibition is that a retailer of tobacco products may display, in accordance with the Smoke-free Environments Regulations (No. 2) 1990, inside the retailer’s place of business, any notice identifying the tobacco products that are available for purchase in that place and indicating their price. The Regulations impose limits on the size of these notices.

“Regulations” means the Smoke-free Environments Regulations (No. 2) 1990.

1.2 Every term defined in the Act or Regulations shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meaning in this Code.

2. Area of Individual Notice

2.1 A Notice must not exceed 297 mm x 420 mm in area.
