Tobacco use continues to be a leading cause of death and morbidity globally. At the core of Australia's response to tobacco-related harms is the National Tobacco Strategy which highlights a national collaborative framework to reduce prevalence, and associated health, social and economic impacts of tobacco use. A draft National Tobacco Strategy (2022-2030) has recently been released for consultation and as members of the Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol and other Drugs' Special Interest Group for Smoking Cessation Professionals we provide a commentary on key successes of the previous National Tobacco Strategy, and suggestions for improvement areas to strengthen Australia's policy response to tobacco and e-cigarette-related issues.
