Abstract

Since at least the late 1960’s, the Australian Government has combined a range of different anti-smoking policies in its effort to combat smoking. Efforts such as advertising and promotion restrictions (for example, point of sale limitations), packaging and labeling laws, excise or taxation of tobacco and public and workplace bans have all been used in an attempt to lower smoking levels among the Australian population.
