Tobacco use is Australia’s leading cause of drug-related death and the single greatest preventable cause of premature death and disease.  It kills over 16,000 Australians a year.

Nicotine is the source of addiction to tobacco.  It is a psychoactive drug which affects mood and performance. Nicotine addiction is a fluid matrix of chemical dependency, learned habits and psychological associations and meanings.
