As a mass-media led campaign, the National Tobacco Campaign is the most intense and longest running anti-tobacco campaign ever seen in Australia. This is the second volume of a two-part compendium designed to assist in the evaluation of the National Tobacco Campaign (NTC), a major initiative launched in 1997 aimed primarily at assisting smokers aged 18-40 years along the road to quitting. Volume one of the evaluation report focused on results from the first phase of the campaign which ran over the six months from June- December 1997.

The chapters in this volume track the effects of the campaign through to the end of 1998 and report additional data for the whole campaign that was not available at the time volume one was released.

Further information on the National Tobacco Campaign can be obtained from the Quitnow campaign website.
