Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Act 1998
LegislationReferenced in 7 bills
Body Corporate and Community Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill reforms Queensland's body corporate laws in several significant ways. It creates a new process for terminating ageing or uneconomic apartment and unit schemes with 75% owner support, protecting dissenting owners with fair compensation. It restricts developers from using sunset clauses to cancel 'off the plan' contracts, and modernises everyday rules around smoking, pets and parking in strata schemes.
Transport and Other Legislation (Road Safety, Technology and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill introduces the Digital Licence App allowing Queenslanders to carry driver licences and photo ID on their smartphones, and extends automated camera enforcement to catch drivers using mobile phones and not wearing seatbelts. It also makes various technical improvements to transport legislation.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products (Dismantling Illegal Trade) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill dramatically strengthens Queensland's enforcement powers against illegal tobacco and nicotine vape sales. It extends business closure periods from 72 hours to 3 months, creates new criminal and civil penalties for landlords who allow illegal sales on their premises, and enables undercover operations to catch offenders.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill puts frontline health workers on Hospital and Health Boards and cracks down on illegal vaping. It requires each hospital board to include at least one doctor, nurse or allied health professional who actually works at that hospital. It also allows Queensland Health to immediately destroy seized vaping products rather than storing them for weeks, and lets courts make convicted sellers pay enforcement costs.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Amendment Bill 2023
This bill overhauls Queensland's tobacco laws to reduce smoking rates and protect the community from second-hand smoke. It introduces a licensing scheme for tobacco sellers, cracks down on illicit tobacco, expands smoke-free public spaces, and strengthens protections for children.
Personalised Transport Ombudsman Bill 2019
This bill creates the Personalised Transport Ombudsman to resolve complaints about taxis, rideshare, limousines and booked hire services. It also updates legislation to support Queensland's new $371 million public transport ticketing system, which will allow passengers to pay using contactless cards, smartphones or wearables.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products (Vaping) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill cracks down on the illegal vape and tobacco trade in Queensland by creating new offences, increasing penalties to up to 2 years imprisonment, and giving authorities power to close non-compliant businesses. It responds to a public health crisis with vaping among 12-17 year olds quadrupling since 2017, and supports the Commonwealth's national vaping ban.
