We provide a FREE service to help you stop smoking in both the Eastern and Western bay of plenty.

Individual Support –
Every person is paired up with a quit coach who will meet with you to work out your Quit Journey together. After 4 weeks being smoke-free, you will receive a $50 voucher of your choice for all your hard work.

Roopū Sessions –
The team have a 6-week programme for Wahine Māori aged between 18 and 30. Each session covers areas of quitting with kai, fun activities, and gifts to help you stay smoke-free. We can also run other group sessions by request.

Incentive Programmes –
If you are hapū and/or care fulltime for tamariki under the age of 5, we offer up to $250 worth of vouchers. This programme also allows you to choose a Quit Buddy. Your Quit Buddy will also receive vouchers up to $150.
