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.
