IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND RESEARCH 29% of mental health conditions in Australia could be attributed to experiences of abuse and/or neglect in childhood, a finding highlighting a significant public health concern. Addressing childhood maltreatment could prevent over 1.8 million cases of worsening mental health, emphasising the need to reduce its incidents and effects.
Mental health conditions could affect up to 13% of the population.

Implications for practice and research Integrating smoking cessation policies within mental health prevention programmes could be a vital option for improving mental health and reducing suicidal acts. Public Health Campaigns could target more vulnerable populations based on their age (eg, younger individuals), gender (eg, males responded less well than females) or geographical area (eg, urban areas showed more resistance to these policies than rural areas).
The smoking rate in Korea in 2020 was 20.6%, which is higher than the global average of 17%.
