Project description:
In Australia, nicotine addiction continues to be the main cause of preventable death through tobacco smoking. With the emergence of nicotine vaping products, we now face new challenges. This project will establish a surveillance system for smoking and vaping using cutting edge technologies and global partnerships. The development of this enhanced monitoring will provide health experts and government with the tools necessary to respond to the rapidly changing vaping and tobacco smoking landscape.
