Te Hā Aukati Kaipaipa

Stop Smoking Services

Support from specialist quit coaches to help you become, and stay, smokefree.

Te Hā means ‘the breath’ and relates to the tikanga of the traditional hongi where te hā (the breath of life) is exchanged between two people.

Te Hā is free and available to most people, but especially:

Te Piki Oranga whānau (enrolled clients)
Māori or Pasifika people in the Te Tauihu region
pregnant women of all ethnicities, their partners and whānau who live in the same house

Pēpi First for hapū māmā

Deciding to stop smoking is one of the best things you can do for you and your pēpi.

Our Pēpi First kaimahi are here to help you achieve a smokefree pregnancy and a smokefree house for your whānau. We can do this for tane and other whānau members in your household too.

You will be rewarded with vouchers as you reach milestones in your journey.
