The goal is simple: stop smoking and save lives
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Australia, driving chronic illness, reduced quality of life, and premature mortality.
Combustible tobacco exposes the body to thousands of toxic chemicals created through burning—many of which are directly linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory conditions.
The impact of smoking combustible tobacco is significant. Smoking is:
Combustible tobacco exposes the body to thousands of toxic chemicals created through burning—many of which are directly linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory conditions.
The impact of smoking combustible tobacco is significant. Smoking is:
- Responsible for around 90% of lung cancer cases¹.
- A major contributor to chronic diseases including heart disease, 16 types of cancer, and COPD
- Affiliated with progressive decline in health, reduced physical capacity, poorer outcomes later in life, and premature mortality².
- Associated with an estimated 10-year reduction in life expectancy³.
66 Australians die from smoking-related illness every-day¹.
Encouragingly, evidence consistently shows that stopping smoking at any stage reduces the risk of serious disease and premature death, with earlier cessation associated with greater improvements in life expectancy.
Even after years of smoking, meaningful health gains remain achievable.

Quitting often takes more than willpower
Nicotine dependence, behavioural habits, and environmental triggers make smoking cessation challenging.
Most smokers do not succeed on their first attempt. Many individuals require multiple quit attempts, with some estimates suggesting 30 or more attempts.
The vast majority of smokers take multiple attempts to quit smoking, many of which give up without success. In fact, for many people who smoke, it may take 30 or more quit attempts to quit before achieving long-term success⁴. The majority of quit attempts are made without structured support.
Unassisted quitting (the “cold turkey” method) remains common—but has low long-term success rates. Only 3–5% of smokers remain abstinent beyond six months when attempting to quit without support⁵.
Outcomes improve significantly when evidence-based interventions are used.
Despite this, many smokers continue to struggle to find an approach that works for them—highlighting the need for additional, effective options within a structured treatment framework.

Supporting better outcomes with evidence-based care

Clinical guidance now recognises Nicotine Vaping Products (NVPs) as a potential option for adults who have not achieved success with existing quitting methods.
A growing body of research has explored the role of NVPs in smoking cessation.
NVPS provide Smokers with high-quality Tobacco Harm Reduction products with the aim to:
These findings highlight the potential role of NVPs as part of a broader harm reduction strategy. |
Research indicates the use of NVPs is around 3 Time More Effective then existing nicotine replacement therapies⁷.
