What the government/people are doing to prevent lung cancer and smoking.

Lung cancer is common because of cigarette smoking.

The Australian government has been doing many things to prevent lung cancer from affecting people in our country. Things like putting gruesome photo's on the cigarette packets, showing the type of sicknesses and illnesses that would happen if you smoke too much.

Teachers, principals and school departments etc. Are all encouraged to teach school children and especially teenagers that it's not a good idea to smoke, the rules and consequences about it, how it can make a big impact to your life. If you teach them while they are young, and before they do it; then they would likely think twice about smoking.

There are also different types of advertisements to try and influence smokers, and encourage them to quit. Explaining on t.v that quiting is possible with a simple phone call. (For eg. Quit-line)

There is a ad on TV that shows air-sacs deflating one by one because a cigarette is burning them up, it is meant to represent your lungs.

People are taught to value their life more than a addiction, sadly some are not affective and people are still buying cigarettes, even now some have lost their lives or about to lose them.
