Date Event Details
July 1 - 2 NSW, Vic "total" pub/club smoke bans  Vic (July 1) and NSW (July 2) smoke bans in enclosed areas come into force - but exempt rooms up to 75% enclosed, and keep many working areas smoky. Qld has best legislation, protecting workers and avoiding loopholes. See www.ashaust.org.au/SF'03/law.htm. Campaign for separate, unserviced smoking areas. See also www.ashaust.org.au/SF'03/partly.htm 
July 8 - 14 National Diabetes Week Tobacco smoke (active or passive) not only worsens but predisposes diabetes 2: see www.ashaust.org.au/SF'03/releases/060407.htm  Campaign for safe, smokefree public places to oppose discrimination against sufferers.  More on the week at www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/notice_board/diabetes_week.html.  See also Nov 14 (World Diabetes Day).
July 15 - 21  National Glaucoma Week Tobacco is a major factor in glaucoma. See research at cogprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/archive/00003238/. Campaign for full packet disclosure of tobacco's ocular damage. More about the week at www.glaucoma.org.au. 
July 15 - 21 Family Doctor Week Encourage doctors to do everything possible to highlight the risks of smoking and to feature anti-smoking material prominently in surgeries. More on the AMA-organised week at www.ama.com.au/web.nsf/doc/WEEN-6YG7TW. Though the AMA is very aware and supportive of anti-tobacco measures, some doctors are less informed than they should be.
