Tobacco kills around 15,511 Australians a year.
That's more than drugs, alcohol, car accidents, suicides, homicides and AIDS deaths combined. Better health warnings are only part of the solution. We also need higher tobacco taxes, smoke free work and public places, effective ways to protect kids from cigarette advertising, clearer rules on tobacco company behaviour and increased resources for health promotion and cessation programs.
