Smokers given vouchers as incentive to quit

Smokers in Tasmania are set to be given vouchers for local businesses if they quit smoking for at least three months.

Participants have to prove their sobriety through a regular carbon monoxide breath-test and in return will receive a voucher each week for the first month, and at the end of the second and third month - up to the value of $310.

The project started on 1st May and received several express interests in the programme.
