An 18-month interim ban on the supply of toy-like novelty cigarette lighters in Australia came into effect on 30 December 2009. This ban was published in Special Gazette No. S223 of 30 December 2009.
Under the Trade Practices Act 1974, Consumer Protection Notice No. 25 of 2009 declares that toy-like novelty cigarette lighters are unsafe goods.
These pictures show some examples of toy-like novelty lighters. This is not a definitive range—there are many more possible styles, shapes and colours.
