Yes — you must be 18 or older. Virqalo is an Australian adult tobacco catalogue, and every order is placed on the basis that the customer is at least 18 years old. If you are under 18, or the delivery recipient is under 18, you cannot use the ordering service. This guide sets out Virqalo’s age requirement, the 18+ confirmation you make when you order, and the adult delivery rules that apply to Australian deliveries.
What is the minimum age to buy cigarettes in Australia?
In Australia, tobacco is an age-restricted product. The minimum age to buy cigarettes is 18 in every state and territory, and the same adult standard applies when tobacco is bought online. Online sellers of age-restricted tobacco products apply the same 18+ requirement as physical retail, and Virqalo’s own terms reflect that standard.
Virqalo’s 18+ requirement
Virqalo presents itself as an Australian adult tobacco catalogue restricted to people aged 18 or older. The live catalogue carries this notice on the shop: “This Australian adult tobacco catalogue is restricted to people aged 18 or older.”
The Terms and Conditions state the same rule in ordering terms: “By using the ordering service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and located at an eligible Australian delivery address.”
The terms also prohibit ordering on behalf of a minor: you must not “attempt to order for a minor” or provide false age or delivery information. In other words, the age rule is not limited to the person paying — it covers the person receiving the delivery too.
Adult delivery requirements
The Shipping Policy sets out the delivery-side age rules:
- The recipient must be at least 18 years old.
- Age or identity checks may be required where applicable.
- Orders with incomplete, inaccurate or ineligible delivery details may be held or cancelled.
- Virqalo ships only to eligible addresses within Australia; international destinations are not supported.
Because the age rule applies at delivery, make sure the delivery address is an eligible Australian address and that an adult recipient will be available to receive the order.
What happens if the age requirement cannot be met?
Under Virqalo’s Terms and Conditions, submitting an order does not guarantee acceptance. An order may be declined or cancelled when age, location, availability, pricing, security or legal requirements cannot be satisfied, and providing false age or delivery information is prohibited.
Why Virqalo enforces the 18+ rule
Virqalo is an adults-18+ Australian tobacco catalogue and search-recovery publication. The 18+ restriction is stated on the shop, confirmed in the ordering terms, and applied again at delivery through the Shipping Policy. The same adults-18+ context applies across the catalogue, including every product record, brand category and editorial guide on the site.
Check the catalogue before you order
Once you have confirmed that you and the recipient are 18 or older, browse the shop or the product directory to find the exact record you want. Product pages show the record’s SKU, price in A$, stock indicator and carton format (1 carton = 10 packs), so you can verify the exact product before checkout. For delivery questions, read the Shipping Policy; for questions about a specific product record, use the contact page.
