Getting the right support gives you a much better chance of quitting for good. 

Quit coaches are free, qualified, and have helped thousands of people in Aotearoa become smokefree. They understand that everyone’s needs are different and will work with you on a plan to get you on track to quitting smoking. 

A quit coach can:

• work with you one-on-one, or you can bring supportive friends or whānau
• be there for you in person, or via phone, text or email
• create a personalised quit plan for you
• link you to a hapū māmā programme, kaupapa Māori service, Pacific Service, or another group of people motivated to quit smoking
• keep you focused on the benefits of quitting
• teach you strategies that have helped others quit
• provide motivational tools and resources
• provide Nicotine Replacement Therapy (patches, gum, lozenges)
• share information about other quit aids such as stop smoking medications and vaping.

You can use the form on this page to connect with a quit coach at your chosen stop smoking service. 

If you prefer to get in touch with a service yourself, you can find the closest one to you with the stop smoking service map or through Quitline.
