In Australia, tobacco use is linked to over 19,000 deaths every year despite the widely recognised tobacco taxation laws, increasing policy changes to enact smoke free environments and the use of graphic images of smoking-related disease(s) in media communication and on cigarette packaging. Dental patients say they would expect support from their Oral Health Professional if they want to quit. However, many oral health professionals may have had limited access to appropriate information to undertake the role of promoting tobacco use prevention and cessation.
