AMA submission to the Department of Health – National Tobacco Strategy 2022-2030

The AMA supports in-principle the draft National Tobacco Strategy 2022-2030.

However, there are key improvements required to make the Strategy more effective in achieving its goals. Priority areas and actions need to be more specific, proactive, measurable, and include timelines for implementation. The Strategy should ensure a commitment to funding the activities under each priority area. Further, e-cigarettes need to be given more weight in the Strategy to ensure Australia’s success so far in reducing the use of tobacco/nicotine and improving Australia’s health is not threatened.
