Health issue:

Decreasing tobacco smoking among adolescent Australians to decrease COPD prevalence. Globally, tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes of non-communicable diseases as cancers, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. As smoking is the main cause of developing COPD, discouraging people from smoking initiation or continuation is the first line of treatment to prevent the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or to prevent it from progressing at a fast rate.

Put together a policy brief (Chap.6 textbook) which advocates for change in relation to your identified health issue.

Note: Be sure to consider the difference between public health advocacy/communication) as per your policy brief)
