STATES ENFORCE FINES TO CURB VAPING TRENDS

Selling vapes that contain NICOTINE is illegal – we do not support this activity at TSG.

As retailers that sell e-cigarettes and vape products, YOU have a responsibility to abide by the law! Many stores are being raided and fined!

“We are cracking down on the illegal sale of nicotine e-cigarettes and liquids and taking a zero-tolerance approach to those who sell them,” NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said.

Here’s a breakdown of the fines:

  • ACT: $30,000 max, two years imprisonment or both

  • WA: $45,000

  • VIC: $15,546 max

  • SA: $10,000 max

  • NT: $15,400 max or 12 months imprisonment

  • QLD: $9752 max

  • NSW: $1100 max

  • TAS: $7850 or up to two years imprisonment

TSG has non-nicotine disposable vapes available on the TSG Online Shop.

TRANSITIONING TO NEW REMOTE ASSISTANCE SOFTWARE – SPLASHTOP

 

Please Note that TSG IT is rolling out a new remote assistance software to all store POS systems called Splashtop which will replace the current LogMeIn Client.

  • There will be virtually no change and no action required on user’s end. All this will be completed by us in the backend.

  • Both products are quite similar and we expect that you will not notice any change in support or the way we connect and manage your POS systems.

  • When you request assistance from Head Office and IT Teams connect to your computer, you will notice a pop-up in the bottom right hand corner as shown below.

  • You will see a similar pop-up once IT disconnects the session.

  • The same notification will also show on your screen when IT is transferring files & updates onto your computer such as POS and other software upgrades

 

If you have any queries regarding this change, please send them to [email protected]
