board where users can gain motivation and support from thousands of other people quitting. The Quitline also

working with community and population groups to create public education materials, health information and treatment pathways for groups that still have high smoking and vaping rates
including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, those experiencing mental disorders,
and those with alcohol and other drug disorders.
