Winnunga’s Tackling Indigenous Smoking (TIS) team aimed to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the ACT by reducing tobacco use through community engagement activities. Since its start in 2010, the TIS Team developed local resources, branding and promotional materials such as those shown here. These resources supported education and engagement activities in schools, community events and workplaces to build knowledge about the harms of smoking, prevent uptake, support cessation and promote smoke‑free environments. The Team referred individuals ready to quit to Winnunga’s cessation support program ‘No More Boondah’.
