Source: Tasmania. Minister for Health and Human Services. Media Release
" The Minister for Health and Human Services, Lara Giddings, introduced into State Parliament legislation to better protect Tasmanian children from the health risks of tobacco smoking.
Ms Giddings said the Public Health Amendment Bill 2007 would:

ban smoking in vehicles when children under the age of 18 are present, with effect from 1 January 2008;
bring Tasmania into line with Australia’s toughest restrictions on point-of-sale display of tobacco products – reducing the allowable display size for most retailers from four square metres to one; and
prohibit the introduction to Tasmania of fruit and confectionery flavoured cigarettes."
