Under the Public Health (Tobacco) Act 2008 it is illegal for non-pharmacy retailers to sell or supply any type of vape. This applies to businesses including tobacconists, vape shops and convenience stores. NSW Health can prosecute retailers who illegally sell vapes, with penalties including fines or even prison.

You can report illegal sales of vapes to NSW Health by calling the Tobacco Information Line on 1800 357 412, or by completing the online reporting form.

Please note, Council does not regulate vape sales or take a role in enforcing rules for vape sales.
