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 - many times 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.
