Are these legal in Australia?

Our smoke emitters are classified as non dangerous goods, they do not hold a DG Class, no permits or licences are required to purchase or use them. They are like using a lit match. However, we do not endorse or supply smoke for illegal purposes - such as public nuisances (football games), evasion or other acts of terror. These emitters are strictly for the creative industry only. For creatives to produce special effects on location and on set. CSA carries no responsibility for how customers ultimately use these goods.

This product is not classified as explosive according to section 2.1.4.3 of Appendix 1 to 1272-2008.

That said, common sense in using them is a must. We don’t sell to under 18s. They are the same as lighting a Smokey bbq, tire burnout, wood fire or such.  The smoke effect can linger but it is determined by a number of factors. They are a “hot burn” chemical reaction meaning the smoke rises upwards as it’s runs hot. On a colder day the smoke will generally linger around more vs disappearing quickly into the air on a hotter day. Because. Science. Any type of wind will quickly move the smoke away.  We don’t recommend using them indoors as the lingering smoke can cause potential issues for people with respiratory problems, and increased exposure can cause eye irritation and dizziness.  These emitters do set off fire alarms so we don’t advise using them around built up areas (including car parks etc) They also pose a fire danger, so users should always ensure that there is the ability to extinguish them.  Products sold are from a reputable European company who has been selling smoke emitters globally for the past 4 decades.
