This excerpt is taken from The Australian Bureau of Statistics.Smoking
Tobacco smoking is one of the largest preventable causes of death and disease in Australia. Smoking is estimated to kill almost 20,500 Australians a year (13% of all deaths) and was responsible for 8.6% of the total burden of disease in Australia in 2018[1]. It is associated with an increased risk of health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, kidney disease, eye disease and respiratory conditions such as asthma, emphysema and bronchitis[2].
There have been a range of tobacco control policies implemented in Australia since 1973 aimed at reducing smoking rates through measures such as taxation on tobacco products, restrictions on advertising, smoke-free laws in certain locations, information and warnings on tobacco packaging and mass media educational campaigns[3]. These policy interventions align with recommendations from the 2003 World Health Organisation (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), of which Australia is a signatory[4]. The proportion of adults who are current daily smokers has decreased over the past several decades, from 23.8% in 1995 to 10.6% in 2022[5].
The main reason for the drop in tobacco use is deaths from smoking or thousands of people switching to vaping. Illegal or not!
