Tobacco kills many thousands of Australians every year, adversely affecting tens of thousands of families.
80% of Australian smokers would like to quit. That's 3 million Australians being left in harms way. Smokers almost universally regret starting to smoke.

Australia is a world leader in tobacco awareness and is in a position to end the scourge.

Delay of ending tobacco sales equals EXTRA tobacco deaths.

Australian governments are still locked into tobacco reduction strategies rather than enacting the only measure that will end the tobacco deaths. They will not take that step unless very seriously pushed to do so. The Australian people are the only ones who can push them that hard.
