Minister responsible for the Tobacco Control Act

The Tobacco Control Regulations require importers to submit to the Minister, at least once in each calendar year, a report on the amount of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide produced by each kind of cigarette imported into the country. An importer is deemed to have fulfilled this reporting requirement if each manufacturer of tobacco products whose products the person imports submits to the Minister a report on emissions that complies with the testing requirements. (Note that manufacturing of tobacco products is prohibited in Nauru.)
