00:01A decades long campaign and public health policies are doing their job.
00:08If you choose to smoke then it's on you.
00:10Eventually you have to break the whip somehow or otherwise you're going to die.
00:15Smoking rates have plummeted according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
00:20We are now one of the lowest smoking countries amongst any high income country in the world.
00:26Fewer people are smoking than ever before.
00:28In 2025 just 5.6% of Australians smoked daily down from 8.3% in 2022-23 and 19
00:39.5% in 2001.
00:41About 1.3 million Australians smoke daily compared with 3 million in 2001.
00:48It's good to see the numbers of smokers falling but we see an increase in the take-up of illicit
00:54tobacco.
00:54Over the last 11 months we've stunningly intercepted more than 2 billion cigarettes at the border
01:02as well as other nicotine products like vapes and pouches.
01:05Vaping rates are steady overall but remain most popular with young people
01:10with 8.3% of 18 to 24 year olds using vapes daily down 1%.
01:16I know how harmful it can be.
01:18Don't know why people do it to be honest.
01:19It is really good to see that young people are vaping less.
01:22However, we still have a generation that are still being targeted by the illicit nicotine market
01:28and we need that to be stamped out.
01:30The next big job for public health advocates and policy makers.
01:34The next big job that is something we want to see that Johnny Crane Valley
01:35has received an increase in progress.
