07.01.2022 Did you know that Tasmania has the second highest smoking rates in Australia? Whilst we try to help people quit smoking and reduce their tobacco use, prevention is a massive factor in reducing the smoking rates in Tasmania. To do this, we provide sessions to Primary School aged students (ages 11-12) about the risks and effects of smoking....

If you have any specific areas in which you believe our online sessions should be offered and delivered or would like more information, please contact Tobacco Action Worker Ty at [email protected]
