Smoking in SA

Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death and disease in our community.

Infographic stating In 2022 8.2% of people (15 years+) smoke daily and 1.8% of people (15 years+) vape daily

When we look at smoking rates among priority groups living in South Australia, it’s clear that smoking is a social justice issue.

Infographic stating 22.7%% of people with a severe mental illness in SA smoke (from 2022) 40.4% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged over 18 in SA smoked (from 2019)
