Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time E-Cigarettes E-Cigarettes The Hon. J.E. HANSON Legislative Council E-Cigarettes The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:59): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Is the minister satisfied with the current compliance of e-cigarette operators under the law, and how many inspections has SA Health undertaken of e-cigarette retailers since the laws commenced? The Hon. S.G. WADE Legislative Council Minister for Health and Wellbeing E-Cigarettes The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:00): I thank the honourable member for his question. I am not aware of being given any information in relation to compliance activity. I would make the point that, to allow additional time for e-cigarette retailers to adapt their operations in relation to the Tobacco and E-Cigarettes Products Act 1997, it only became an offence from 1 October to advertise and promote e-cigarettes, to have e-cigarette products on display at the point of sale and to sell e-cigarettes by indirect orders. In relation to those elements, they do not become a compliance issue in less than a week, but in relation to the other elements I am not aware of any compliance activity to this date.
