Part 3.Tobacco and Nicotine Products

Chapter 3: Prohibition on Sale of Tobacco and Nicotine Products
Section 51 - Restricted premises orders: tobacco or nicotine offence

84.This section amends section 12D of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933. That provision sets out a number of offences that are a “tobacco or nicotine offence” for the purposes of section 12A of that Act. Restricted premises orders and restricted sale orders may be made in respect of persons who have been convicted of tobacco or nicotine offences. The amendment to section 12D provides the Welsh Ministers with a regulation-making power to add new offences to those which may be used to support an application to make a restricted premises order.
