With the cost of petrol and household expenses continuing to rise, the loss of a job or unexpected medical bills mean many people with cancer are stretched beyond their limits.

Please give today to help Cancer Council Tasmania provide free support to anyone facing the emotional and financial costs of a cancer diagnosis.

All our services are provided to Tasmanians impacted by cancer at no cost. But we can only continue to do this with your help – because over 85% of our funding comes from the Tasmanian community.

World No To***co Day is held annually on 31 May to raise awareness of the dangers of to***co use and highlight the need for stronger regulations to protect people from the harms of smoking.

This year the theme focuses on ‘unmasking the appeal’, exposing how the to***co and ni****ne industry continues to reinvent and repackage its products to hook children and adolescents.

As Australians we should be proud to be a world-leader in to***co control and remain focused on our national commitment to reduce the daily smoking prevalence to less than 5% by 2030.

We know illicit to***co is a serious issue. With an estimated 40,000 to***co retailers nationwide, Australia now has more to***co shops than supermarkets.

Investment in campaigns to discourage smoking has declined substantially, and continued investment is required to generate and sustain population-level smoking reductions.

We also recognise that, according to AIHW data, 2 in 3 people who smoke, want to quit smoking.

If you or a loved one is seeking support to quit, please head to our website or speak to your local GP.
