Warraay puthu campaign resources

Warraay Puthu ('Bad Smoke' in Ngiyampaa language) is a youth-led movement calling for an end to tobacco and nicotine harm in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The campaign supports young people and communities to stand strong against bad smoke, share their voices and build a healthier future.

Young TIS Workers from Queensland, NSW, WA and the ACT came together and created the national smoke-free, vape-free and anti-Industry campaign. Campaign resources include:

• the song 'Voices of Resistance'

• posters

• a factsheet
