Automatic Prohibition convictions
An Automatic Prohibition prevents a business from the sale, storage, and delivery of tobacco products for a minimum of six months. Certain tobacco sales offences that result in a conviction can be applied towards an Automatic Prohibition. A location is subject to an Automatic Prohibition when two or more owner convictions for tobacco sales offences occur within a five-year period, regardless of a change in ownership.
