Do you need help to Stop smoking?

Your body begins to repair itself as soon as you quit smoking.

Quit for yourself, your whānau, your friends and your pocket. Improve not only your health but the health of your loved ones, and get more out of life.

Maybe you’ve tried to quit before and failed. It can be tough to quit smoking – 80% of current smokers would not smoke if they had their life over again.

However, every day people show it can be done. Read about people who have quit at Quitline blogs.
