You definitely need to register with the OTC to sell tobacco products:

I can't see anything that says that you need a license per se but I could be wrong.

I'm not sure what documentation you might need for selling alcohol but again this sort of info is presumably easily accessible online?

Update: re. alcohol this might be of interest:
