Australian Vape Compliance Wholesale: 148 Shops Hit in QLD Raids. Secure Your Business with Wala Vapes in 2025
December 2025: Australia is facing its biggest crackdown on illicit tobacco and vapes ever! Queensland Health’s “Operation Major” action has forced 148 tobacconists and retailers to close for 90 days, seizing over $15.7 million worth of goods—including a shocking 87,000 illegal disposable vapes!

Retailers across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Townsville, Bundaberg, and beyond were caught off guard in a statewide blitz. Millions of illegal cigarettes, loose tobacco, and nicotine pouches were also confiscated. Many owners woke up to find their stock gone overnight, and their doors locked for three months under tough new powers that don’t even require a court order.
What’s Driving the Crackdown? Understanding the 2025 Australian Vape Laws New laws in Queensland grant authorities the toughest enforcement tools in the country. This mirrors increasing Federal restrictions that strictly control the import and retail sale of vaping products, especially disposables and those containing nicotine. Authorities are getting smarter, tracking black market suppliers via QR codes, websites, and even targeting landlords renting to rogue traders. Source: Brisbane Times Report
