The unit focuses on three themes:
- Liking Me

Just One Puff
Tobacco smoking is the single largest preventable cause of premature death and disease in Australia. Tobacco smoking accounts for 82% of drug-related deaths in Australia.

The aim of the unit is to prevent and reduce smoking experimentation among young people, and to reinforce positive non-smoking behaviours.
