π§΅1/5
*According to the ABS on 10/12/21
"Smoking rates during the pandemic were highest in
Adults with fair or poor health & were more likely to be current daily smokers 17.7%."
Yet the most successful quit method,ie. #vaping nicotine made more difficult to access than smokes.π
2/5 * "More than one in five (23.4%) adults living in group households were current daily smokers".
That's almost twice the daily smoking rate!π²

3/5 *"Adults who reported their health as fair or poor were more than twice as likely to be current daily smokers compared with those who reported their health as excellent or very good (17.7% and 7.6%)."
Yet the most successful quit method,ie. #vaping is still more difficult! π
4/5 *"Adults living in regional Australia were almost twice as likely to be daily smokers 17.9%"
Around twice that again in indigenous Australians.
Yet the most successful & ZERO DEATH quit method,ie. #vaping nicotine is still made more difficult by the Australian Government!π
5/5 Health disparities between smoking & non smoking populations are an Australian national disgrace!
Most guidance the Australian Govt. are getting is failing & has failed over the last 10 years!
UK, NZ & USA smoking rates are falling upto 2x faster! Time for a a rethink? π€
