WHAT'S WRONG AND WHAT'S NEEDED

TAKING ACTION: 

Smoking is Australia's no.1 preventable health problem. 
Each year it kills around 15,000 people (including 36 under the age of 15) 
and  costs  the nation over $31 billion. 

ASH Australia  (Action on Smoking and Health)  
aims to reduce smoking rates to 10% or less by 2010.
