Daily smoking rates in Australia fall to a historic low of 5.6%
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's National Drug Strategy Household Survey shows daily smoking rates dropped to 5.6% last year, down from 8.3% two years ago. This national figure comes from a single large survey and has not been independently corroborated by other sources.
Why it matters
This decline shows progress in reducing the national health burden of tobacco use.
