Despite disproportionately high smoking prevalence, the study found that most people enacted smokefree leadership within families and communities. While there was broad concern about not impinging on the autonomy of others, Indigenous health workers regularly advised clients, family and community members to quit smoking. This followed a general belief that the issue of smoking was best raised by health workers, rather than traditional leaders. Protecting children from second-hand smoke and preventing smoking initiation was important to all participants irrespective of their smoking status. An enduring and highly valued cultural connection to \u014barali\u2019 (tobacco) remains an essential part of the sacred practices of the funeral ceremony, an important and unique social utility. The study found consensus among participants that this would not change. Navigating traditional connections to \u014barali\u2019 in a context where most people are still addicted to commercial tobacco is challenging and requires respectful and culturally compelling approaches. Tobacco control initiatives with the Yol\u014bu should therefore utilise existing smokefree leaders within the social context in which \u014barali\u2019 is valued and used, an approach that may resonate with other Indigenous Australian nations and communities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1757975919829405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,24]],"date-time":"2019-06-24T10:43:40Z","timestamp":1561373020000},"page":"100-108","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Smokefree leadership among the Yol\u014bu peoples of East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Moana Pera","family":"Tane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Casuarina, NT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marita","family":"Hefler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Casuarina, NT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David P.","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University, Casuarina, NT, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1757975919829405","unstructured":"Blas E, Kurup A.
