昆士兰州获联邦资金支持加强非法烟草执法

昆士兰州因其多管齐下的非法烟草控制方案获得联邦政府270万澳元追加资金支持1。这笔投资反映了该州在烟草执法领域的领先地位，以及其措施的初步成效。

该州在2025年11月至12月执法行动后，合法烟草销售增长55%，同期全国市场保持稳定1。执法强度的提升也带动了戒烟需求的增加，Quitline通话量在行动后翻倍1。昆士兰州拥有澳大利亚最大的人均执法队伍，2025年10月报告159名授权卫生和合规官员，年内还额外招聘43名专职官员1。该州的烟草执法法律被认为是澳大利亚最严厉的，包括对房东的问责制1。

其他州也在加强立法以应对非法烟草贸易。维多利亚州2月开始执法活动，初期仅有14名官员，现已宣布澳大利亚最严格的执法法律，赋予当局90天内关闭非法店铺的权力，并可处以高达240万澳元的罚款1。专家建议全国推广类似措施并减少烟草零售点数量1。数据显示，2025年超过一半购买非法香烟的人报告从烟纸店购买1。

Queensland has secured an additional AUD $2.7 million in federal funding to combat illicit tobacco trading, recognizing the state's comprehensive enforcement approach.1 This financial backing comes as Queensland demonstrates measurable success in its anti-trafficking efforts, with legal tobacco sales rising 55 percent between July and December 2025, while the national market remained stable over the same period.1

The state's enforcement infrastructure underpins its effectiveness in the fight against illegal tobacco. Queensland maintains Australia's largest per-capita enforcement workforce, with 159 authorized health and compliance officers reported in October 2025, and an additional 43 full-time officers recruited during 2025.1 The state's legal framework is among the country's most stringent, establishing mechanisms to hold landlords accountable for illegal operations on their premises.1 The enforcement campaign has yielded broader public health benefits, with call volumes to Quitline doubling following the enforcement action.1

Other Australian states are moving to strengthen their own tobacco enforcement regimes, though progress varies. Victoria launched enforcement activities in February and initially deployed only 14 officers, but has now announced what it claims are Australia's strictest enforcement laws, granting authorities the power to close illegal retailers for 90 days and imposing fines up to AUD $2.4 million.1 Over half of people purchasing illicit cigarettes in 2025 reported obtaining them from tobacco paper shops,1 highlighting the retail channels authorities must target in their regulatory efforts.
