Tobacco
is Australia's No.1 preventable cause of death and disease.
Every
year, tobacco smoking and smoke exposure
kills more than 15,000 people - including one child
every 10 days;
and costs
the nation
over $31 billion - far more than the tax it raises.
ASH
Australia (Action on Smoking and Health) aims to
drive smoking rates down, extend smokefree areas and end tobacco
promotion.
