Australian NGOs launch 'Smoke Kills' campaign urging gov't to halt new fossil fuel production, comparing their health impacts to smoking, gambling, and alcohol.

Australian NGO Comms Declare, backed by Doctors for the Environment Australia, launched 'Smoke Kills' campaign urging the government to stop new fossil fuel production. The campaign, created by Silver Lining, uses out-of-home, social, and digital platforms and compares the dangers of fossil fuels to those of smoking, gambling, and alcohol, stating that their health impacts cause more global deaths annually than smoking. The campaign directs people to sign a petition for banning new coal, oil, and gas projects and restricting advertising and sponsorships.
