Stop Smoking Support

Free support is available through your general practice and community providers. We can help you access nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural support.

Your GP team can discuss your options and create a quit plan that works for you. Support may include:

• One-on-one coaching
• Group support sessions
• Phone and text support
• Prescription medications

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Options include patches, gum, lozenges, and inhalers.

NRT is available at reduced cost through your general practice. Talk to your GP or pharmacist about what might work best for you.

If you're looking to quit vaping, support is also available. Vaping can be used as a step-down tool from smoking, but if you're ready to quit vaping altogether, we can help.

Talk to your GP team about your options for reducing and stopping vaping.

Local stop smoking services are available in Waikato, Lakes, Tairāwhiti, and Taranaki. These programmes provide culturally appropriate support in community settings.
