This report examines the health perspectives of Indigenous Australians, focusing on the case of Carol Martin, a former smoker and Labor MP. It highlights the disproportionate burden of health issues, such as respiratory diseases, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, faced by Indigenous communities compared to non-Indigenous Australians. The report delves into the impact of smoking on individuals, families, and communities, emphasizing its role in widening health and life expectancy gaps. It explores factors contributing to smoking among Indigenous populations, including historical practices and socioeconomic factors. Furthermore, the report discusses the health consequences of smoking, including increased mortality rates, financial burdens, and family neglect.
