I'm just catching up on the subject myself but, here's a news article:

It appears that the Australian and UK versions don't go as far as what seems to have been proposed in the US.

Australia's put the onus on vendors; you can't supply cigarettes to minors, you can't supply alcohol to minors, you can't social platform minors.

It's useful to get a feel on the policies and differences being rolled out before going over the skies and extrapolating from misconceptions.
