6 Retail package
(1) A retail package is a package in which tobacco is sold at retail.
> Note Under the definition of tobacco in subregulation 5 (1), tobacco includes cigarettes and cigars.
(2) If:
(a) one or more packages are contained inside a larger package; or
(b) 2 or more packages are combined to form a larger package;
and the whole is offered for retail sale as one unit:
(c) the larger package is a retail package; and
(d) each smaller package is a retail package.
Example
Packets of cigarettes in a carton.
(3) However:
(a) a display case that is not sold with the tobacco displayed in it is not a retail package; and
(b) a wrapper on, or a container containing, a single cigar is not a retail package; and
(c) if:
(i) a retail package is normally sold wrapped in a wrapper (including, but not limited to, a transparent wrapper) that is normally removed from the package when the package is opened; and
(ii) the wrapper is not a larger package described in subregulation (2);
the wrapper is not part of the retail package.
