The Tackling Indigenous smoking team are part of Pangula Mannamurna clinc services in Mount Gambier. We work to prevent, reduce and cease tobacco use. Pangula Mannamurna Aboriginal Corporation (PMAC) provides a comprehensive range of health and wellbeing services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the Limestone Coast.

What a great video! Look at these wonderful kids spreading the message! Filmed with the students of St. Francis Xavier in the community of Nauiyu, Daly River, this song sends a strong message from the young people in the community about staying strong and proud and smoke free! No matter where you are from, to go against peer pressure requires a lot of strength

My name is Dani, I am one of the Tobacco Action workers at Pangula Mannamurna Aboriginal Corporation. I am a proud Peramangk woman. I had my first cigarette at 10 years old and picked it up from there. I have suffered from asthma for my entire life some attacks put me in a serious condition in hospital on multiple occasions. I chose to give up the smokes due to my health. It is a struggle to kick the habit, yet so worth it. Come say hi, have a yarn and a cuppa and we will work out how we can help you cut down or quit completely. I am here Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
