Retailers in the Yarra Ranges are facing hefty fines if they are caught selling cigarettes to minors. The council's environmental health team will be conducting a test purchase program to ensure retailers are complying with the law. Any individual found to be breaking the law as part of the test purchase program risks receiving fines of up to $563. They also risk prosecution in the Magistrates Court with substantially higher fines and the loss of their right to sell tobacco.
