Public health policies and interventions to reduce tobacco-related harms among socially disadvantaged populations and ‘low probability quitters’

烟草仍然是澳大利亚可预防死亡和疾病的主要原因。那些在社会上处于不利地位的人吸烟的风险更高，这加剧了富人和穷人之间的健康差距。这项研究将为政策制定者提供证据，帮助他们采取干预措施，减少社会中最弱势群体的吸烟。它还将研究危害较小的尼古丁产品是否可以降低戒烟困难的吸烟者的健康风险。

Tobacco continues to be a leading cause of preventable death and disease in Australia. Those who are socially disadvantaged are at higher risk of smoking, which contributes to the health gap between the rich and poor. This research will provide evidence for policy makers on interventions which could reduce smoking among the most disadvantaged in society. It will also examine whether less harmful nicotine products could a reduce health risks in smokers who find quitting difficult.
