sec.70 Order prohibiting or restricting sale of smoking products
This section applies if a supplier is convicted of an offence against section 66 or 67 . The court sentencing the supplier for the offence may, on its own initiative or the application of the prosecutor, make an order— prohibiting the supply of all or stated smoking products by the supplier; or imposing conditions or restrictions on the supply of smoking products by the supplier. The period of the order must not be more than— for a first offence—6 months; or for a second offence—1 year; or for a third or later offence—3 years. If, when the offence happened, the supplier supplied smoking products at more than 1 outlet, the order may apply only to an outlet where the offence happened. The court may make the order in addition to imposing another penalty to which the supplier is liable because of the conviction. A person must not contravene an order under this section. Maximum penalty—420 penalty units. A conviction under subsection (6) for contravening an order does not affect the continuation of the order. s 70 amd 1999 No. 61 s 24 ; 2001 No. 20 s 11 sub 2004 No. 47 s 8 (sec.70-ssec.1) This section applies if a supplier is convicted of an offence against section 66 or 67 .
