The first large-scale, direct evidence on smoking and mortality in Australia shows up to 1.8 million of the country’s 2.7 million smokers will die from their habit if they continue to smoke.

This research is the result of a four-year analysis of health outcomes from more than 200,000 people from the general population participating in the Sax Institute’s 45 and Up Study.

The research was supported by the National Heart Foundation in collaboration with major 45 and Up Study partner Cancer Council NSW and conducted by a national and international team.
