Marketing for good, yes - it's possible. Mass media campaigns are proven to reduce tobacco use. People notice bold campaigns on TV, radio, newspapers, billboards, & online media against tobacco harms. It's powerful, it's smart, and it works. đź”—bit.ly/46eWPgu

Talking at the recent #UnderageDrinking Summit we called for amongst many issues an Anonymous Hotline for Underage Drinking to report alcohol outlets who commit these illegal activities. Communities can oppose new liquor license applications. #AlcoholSaferSA

1/2 Today MPs for the first time ever will discuss alcohol and cancer in Parliament. Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen – like tobacco and asbestos, causing at least 7 types of cancer. More than ever, we need an evidence-based national alcohol strategy which reduces alcohol harm.
