Smoking is Australia's no.1 preventable cause of death and disease. 
Each year it 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.
