Abstract

Men aged 25?34 years, in North Coast NSW, have higher documented smoking rates than elsewhere in the state. The present paper explores potential causes of elevated smoking rates in this population and proposes that tobacco dependence resulting from ?mulling’ (mixing) cannabis with tobacco may be contributing.
