Introduction
This assessment prepares a grant proposal to seek a financial assistance to help in
intervention on the use of tobacco and reducing its effects on health. The report
carries out need analysis and identifies the needs and challenges that the use of
tobacco presents to promoting health. The report is a health promotion initiative to
help start an initiative to solve the health challenges associated with the use of
tobacco. The proposal seeks a grant of $200,000 every year for approximately three
years. There are about 1 billion people who use tobacco globally (Madanat,
Arredondo& Ayala, 2016) Majority of the tobacco users are from developing or
underdeveloped countries. Health promotion intervention has been established as one
of the most effective strategies of reducing the health effects of the use of tobacco in
the society. The aim of this report is to establish the plans and activities that need to
be carried out in order to reduce the usage of tobacco in Australia. This will help to
reduce the number of deaths resulting from tobacco related illnesses. It will also help
to reduce the expenses incurred by individuals and government in treating patients
with illnesses caused by the use of tobacco. The paper begins with an evaluation of
the aims and objectives of the study followed by the background and rationale of the
plan. The strategies to be used in the intervention plan to help reduce usage of tobacco
are discussed in detail. The expected results/outcome after the implementation of the
identified strategies is outlined in this report. The expected incomes from the
intervention plan are also listed in this plan.

Aims and objectives of the study
The main aim of this assessment is to design the strategies that are will be used to
reduce the health effects of the use of tobacco in Australia. The project aims at
reducing the use of tobacco in Australia.
The following are the objectives of this health promotion initiative plan;
 To identify reasons that lead to tobacco users to start using tobacco
 To identify the effects of tobacco use on human body
 To identify the diseases that are associated with the use of tobacco
 To identify the measures that can be taken to help people rehabilitate from
tobacco use
 To investigate ways in which we can prevent non users from being drawn into
starting the habit of tobacco smoking.
 The plan also aims at securing a $300,000 per year grant to finance the activities
of the identified above
Background and rationale
The use of tobacco especially among young people has become an health problem
worldwide. Research indicates that more than 27% of young men globally use
tobacco at one point or another in their lives. It is estimated that approximately 5
million people die due to the use of tobacco globally. This number is expected to
double by the year 2022. Tobacco smoking is one of the most preventable causes of
death in Australia. It is associated with a wide range of health complications such as
heart diseases, diabetes, stroke, cancer, renal disease, eye disease, and respiratory
conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Tobacco is responsible for approximately
