%X The NSW Department of Health&#39;s commitment to reducing tobacco-related harm in New South Wales is best articulated in its NSW Tobacco Action Plan 2001&#8211;2004. In accord with the National Tobacco Strategy 1999&#8211;2003, priorities under this plan include: reducing smoking prevalence; limiting the uptake of smoking by nonsmokers; reducing the exposure to the general population to tobacco smoke; and, over the longer term, decreasing the prevalence of disease and deaths caused by smoking. In order to address these priorities, the NSW Tobacco Action Plan 2001&#8211;2004 (Tobacco Action Plan) focuses on policies and legislative programs to restrict access to tobacco products; provision of support services to assist those wanting to quit smoking; and adoption of strategies to reduce exposure to tobacco smoke in indoor places both public and private.
