description | This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource that represents a patient's smoking status in the context of a patient summary in an Australian context. It is based on the [AU Core Smoking Status](https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7au/au-fhir-core/StructureDefinition-au-core-smokingstatus.html) profile, and applies the additional requirements from [Observation Social History - Tobacco Use (IPS)](http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Observation-tobaccouse-uv-ips). |
