Smoking is the largest single preventable cause of death and disease in Australia.
Every month Australian tobacco companies lose at least 12,000 customers. Tobacco smoke contains over four thousand chemicals, many of which are highly toxic and over 40 of which are known cancer causing substances. There is no safe 'low tar' cigarette and no known safe level of smoking. Male smokers may produce less sperm and their sperm may have more abnormalities than a non-smokers. Women who smoke take longer to conceive and are more likely to have a miscarriage.
