摘要:A previous issue of the NSW Public Health Bulletin (2004) highlighted an enviable track record of tobacco control in New South Wales (NSW).1 These interventions continue to drive down the prevalence rates of smoking. The percentage of people aged 16 years and over who smoke ‘daily’ or ‘occasionally’ has undergone an unprecedented drop from 20.9% in 2004 to 20.1% in 2005, with a further decrease to 17.7% in 2006.2
