Quit | World No Tobacco Day

31 May is World No Tobacco Day (WNTD). This year public health organisations from across the globe come together to amplify the voices of young people worldwide, as they call on governments to protect them from predatory tobacco marketing strategies.

These tactics employed by the industry exploit our youth, creating lifelong addiction to nicotine products for profit. Alarmingly, global statistics indicate that e-cigarette use among children exceeds that of adults in every region, with an estimated 37 million youth aged 13–15 using tobacco.

What can you do?

Young Australians who vape are three times as likely to take up smoking as those who have never vaped. The most effective way to act is by asking Senators to vote for the new legislation to reduce the devastating harm caused by vapes. You can also contact your local MP.
