Here’s what to expect
 

READY:

Getting ready to stop smoking is an important part of the journey to smokefree. When you sign up, one of our team will get in touch with you and invite you to one of our check-in locations across Tāmaki Makaurau. Here we will discuss your triggers, give you tools to succeed and create a quit plan together. Remember, this whole programme is all about you. 

STEADY:

Once you've had your last cigarette, your biggest challenge will be staying on track. That's quite normal and it's where our team can help. Visit your check-in centre each week so our Smokefree Practitioners can help keep you on track and give you the support and tools you need to succeed. At the check-in centre you may have access to free nicotine replacement therapy, such as lozenges, gum or patches to help beat those nicotine cravings during your first month of being smokefree. 

QUIT:

Once you've gone a month without smoking, you've done the hard yards. After that, our team can help you find alternative support groups and help you get subsidised nicotine replacement once you've finished the programme. It’s best to avoid temptation, but keep up the good work and look forward to a time when you don't even think about smoking. That time is closer than you'd think.
