Tai is a Wiradjuri man, born and raised in Western Sydney and is a Pro UFC HeavyWeight Fighter, currently ranked the No.1 Heavy Weight of Australia. He first tried cigarettes at the age of 10, which prompted an asthma attack that sent him to hospital. Being an asthmatic, Tai believes that had he continued smoking, he would not have been as successful in his sporting career as he has been. 

Tyran is a talented cricketer who lives in Penrith, and is from the Biripi mob. He is Captain of Cricket NSW's Sydney Thunder Men's Indigenous Team and last year, he was selected by Cricket Australia to be in the men’s Aboriginal XI squad to tour England. Witnessing the negative affect smoking had on his father's sporting career was the basis for Tyran deciding at an early age to not smoke.  

​Krystal is a Dharug woman, grand-daughter of local elder Aunty Edna Watson. Her quit smoking journey began when she became a Mum. Stopping smoking has meant the time she spends with her daughter is free of the regular 'smoke breaks' she used to take, and she knows that by not smoking she can set an example so her daughter doesn't take up the habit when she's older. 

Donna is a Wonnarua woman. She is a mother and grandmother, and works as an Aboriginal Health Worker in the Penrith area. Once someone who smoked 30+ cigarettes a day, she and her husband made the decision to quit smoking on 11 January 2015, and they haven't looked back.
