For help to quit smoking

If you want to quit smoking and are a New Zealander, consider calling the Quitline on 0800 778 778. Trained quit advisers can provide you with advice and assistance. You may be eligible for heavily-subsidised Nicotine Replacement Therapy.

Other services to help people quit smoking can be found in the Smoking Cessation Directory (2004), which details the smoking cessation services delivered in New Zealand, funded by the Ministry of Health.
