Anti-smoking Australia
November 6, 2012
THE Government is amping up its
anti-smoking stance, with a spate
of new TV, radio, print and social
media adverts.
“We want the message to be
heard and seen, loud and clear,
among these groups and indeed all
Australians: smoking causes sickness,
disease and premature death,” said
the Minister for Indigenous Health,
Warren Snowdon.
The campaign will run until Jan
next year, and will include five
national TV ads and two free quit
smoking apps: Quit Now: My
QuitBuddy and Quit For You, Quit
For Two, available to download
from iTunes and Android Market.
“The statistics for smoking among
at-risk and hard-to-reach groups
are particularly alarming,” said
Health Minister Tanya Plibersek.
“In 2009, 14.5% of pregnant women
in Australia smoked,” she added.
