Eighty per cent of lung cancer cases in Australia are caused by smoking. However, smoking also causes 15 other types of cancer. It's not just lung cancer. 

We know that most smokers want to quit. There are lots of supports that are available to people who would like to quit. Could be calling the Quitline, could be speaking to your GP or your nurse practitioner about smoking cessation medications that can help you. You can download the My QuitBuddy app that provides you with hints and tips and information from other people who've quit that can help to support your quitting journey.
