I think, it is not only with Australia but also with all major countries. They relate all diseases finally to tobacco usage. Because 90% of men in their life time may, at least, for the taste of it, might have taken one or two pulls for the sake of company. Lo you are a smoker or tobacco user and researchers are behind you to take statistics. They are not bothered about the huge and poison smoke that is left out from the exhausts on this earth and inhaled not only by we, mortals, but also by animals. Plants either dry up or become extinct due to contamination of air. I am yet to hear from some researchers that a cow died due to the passive smoking of its mender!
