When it comes to deliberate large scale smoke in Tasmania, asthma groups must lobby for their members to have this stopped, not just put people on drugs while the smoke continues. See the asthma page.
It is therfore suggested that people raise their concerns with the National Asthma Council to enlighten them as to what is happening in Tasmania. Other states and territories should do the same.
