Additional information
Quit is a program housed within The Cancer Council Victoria. It is made up of a small and diverse team of people committed to reducing the harmful effects of tobacco in Victoria.
More than 18,000 Australians die each year from tobacco related diseases. Each week nearly 90 Victorians die from diseases caused by smoking compared with 12 deaths each week caused by alcohol, eight deaths each week caused by road accidents and less than four deaths caused by illicit drugs.
What are we about?
Quit's goal is to reduce the harmful effects of tobacco use, particularly the incidence of cancer, heart disease and respiratory disorders.
Quit's Objectives are:
-- to encourage and assist smokers to quit
-- to prevent as many young people as possible from taking up smoking
-- to reduce the number of places in which people will be exposed to the harmful substances in tobacco smoke
-- to support legislative and policy change to achieve the above objectives.
Campaigns
Quit runs campaigns to encourage quitting and raise the awareness of other tobacco related issues. We use a wide range of approaches and events to spread our message.
Programs
The Programs Team works with community groups. We provide services for the community such as services for smokers, policy support for workplaces and education programs for schools communities.
Information Services
Quit has an information services team who provides tobacco information to colleagues and the general public.
