You will need to meet the minimum requirements if you intend to sell tobacco or smoking products. Smoking products include tobacco products prepared for consumption (e.g. cigarettes, cigars, roll-your-own tobacco), herbal cigarettes, loose smoking blend, personal vaporisers (e.g. electronic or e-cigarettes, e-cigars, vape pens), personal vaporiser related products, smoking related products or a package or carton of any of these things.
Tobacco retailers must:

- keep all smoking products out of sight
- have one single point of sale in your retail outlet
- comply with mandatory signage requirements
- not sell ice-pipes, bongs or e-cigarettes containing nicotine
- supply your staff with adequate training.
