A number of Quit Victoria staff advised on the research, writing and publication of this project. These include Carolyn Ford, Jane Martin, Kylie Lindorff, Nicole Antonopoulos, Sally Robinson and Ian Ferretter. Library services were provided by Marina Haritos, of Quit Victoria, and KRin Pender-Gunn, of Cancer Council Victoria. Their good-humoured and tireless support is gratefully acknowledged. Vicki White, Sarah Durkin and Melanie Wakefield from the Centre for Behavioural Research in Cancer at Cancer Council of Victoria provided data for and advice on several chapters. Coral Gartner of the School of Population Health, the University of Queensland, and David Collins of the School of Economics, Macquarie University, also provided additional data and advice.
Jane Martin and Todd Harper, previously policy and information manager and executive director of Quit Victoria respectively, initiated planning and obtained funding for this project. Their successors, Kylie Lindorff and Fiona Sharkie, managed this project to completion.
The writing and production of this book was seeded by an initial grant by National Expert Advisory Committee on Tobacco and subsequently supported by The Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing. The ongoing support of the department is acknowledged, and in particular the assistance of the Tobacco and Drug Prevention Section.
