🚭 Va**ng is a Fool’s Game!

NRL Northern Territory is proud to partner with Danila Dilba Health Services to help promote positive, healthy choices across our Rugby League community.

Through the Tackling Indigenous Smoking Program, we’re supporting an important message for our players, families, clubs and communities, when it comes to smoking and va**ng, make the choice that puts your health and your future first.

Rugby League provides a powerful platform to connect with our community, particularly our young people, and we’re proud to work alongside Danila Dilba to help share this message.

Strong choices. Strong communities. Strong futures.
