Welcome to 
Working towards a Tobacco Free Australia
Welcome to ACOSH! We work through advocacy and collaboration to reduce the enormous health consequences of smoking.
Cigarettes kill one half of all regular users, and tobacco is the single largest preventable cause of disease and death in Australia. Yet big tobacco continues to lure new smokers, particularly young people, to its deadly product, so that it can make massive profits from death and disease.
Check out the latest news, follow our current and past campaigns, investigate state, federal and world law and policy, read about the misleading and deceptive actions of the tobacco industry, and become a tobacco control advocate! We've got strategies and tips for you to pursue your own tobacco control campaign and become part of the growing tobacco free Australia network.
We're up against a big and powerful industry. We could use your help.

Plain packaging in Australia by 2012 - a world first!
The Federal Government's plain packaging legislation passed the Senate on 10 November. December 2012 will see the implementation of cigarette packets stripped of branding and logos. They are required to be dark green in colour and will be dominated by health warnings.
The pack is one of the remaining forms of tobacco advertising in Australia. Plain packaging is one of the most effective ways to stop the tobacco industry from using the pack to promote their deadly product.
