Despite multiple public health initiatives, smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death, costing the Australian community more than 19,000 lives each year. Public awareness of the dangers of smoking is high, yet around 19% of Australians continue to smoke. Social effects (e.g. the presence of nearby smokers) and the high retail availability of cigarettes are likely to be associated with smoking rates and failed quit attempts, yet there is little research in this area. By providing a better understanding of the effect of these factors on smoking patterns, the study will suggest the most effective avenues for reducing the rate of smoking in Australia, and thus decreasing its substantial cost to individuals and the community.

尽管采取了多项公共卫生举措，但吸烟仍然是可预防的主要死亡原因，每年导致澳大利亚社区超过1.9万人死亡。公众对吸烟危害的认识很高，但约19%的澳大利亚人仍在吸烟。社会影响(例如，附近吸烟者的存在)和香烟的高零售可获得性可能与吸烟率和戒烟尝试失败有关，但这方面的研究很少。通过更好地了解这些因素对吸烟模式的影响，这项研究将提出降低澳大利亚吸烟率的最有效途径，从而降低个人和社区的巨大成本。
