Why Should Tobacco Be Banned In Australia

Smoking Tobacco should be totally banned in Australia

INTRODUCTION

“This paper is to outline the use of tobacco in Australia and its harm to many Australian citizens. Tobacco use is the major cause of preventable and premature death and disease worldwide.
