Tobacco indicators - midpoint progress

This report presents the progress being made against the National Tobacco Strategy 2012-2018 indicators. Most indicators are showing a favourable progress, particularly for exposure to tobacco smoke, uptake of smoking, transition to established smoking and regular smoking among young people, adults and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. However, some groups achieved greater progress than others, and inequalities within particular groups increased for some indicators.
