THE three-month grace period for NSW retailers and wholesalers to apply for a licence to sell tobacco or non-tobacco smoking products as part of the NSW Government’s new Tobacco Licensing Scheme ends at midnight tonight. From tomorrow, retailers must have a valid tobacco licence and display it at the point of sale to sell tobacco or non-tobacco smoking products. Those who continue to do so without holding and displaying the license will face penalties. If a retailer or wholesaler has submitted a valid license application on or before October 1, 2025, they can continue to trade until notified of the outcome of their application. The Government gave retailers and wholesalers a three-month grace period from 1 July to 1 October to apply for a license, after the Tobacco Licensing Scheme laws came into effect.
