The stop smoking service, Te Hā – Waitaha is continuing to support people wishing to become smokefree, during level 4 of the Covid-19 response. 
 
Rather than face-to-face contact, support is being delivered either by phone or virtual sessions online with free NRT (patches, gum and lozenges) provided to clients.
 
Te Hā - Waitaha offers free stop smoking support to anyone in Canterbury.  
 
Specific support is also available to pregnant women or someone living with a pregnant woman.
 
People can be referred or can refer themselves, by either:
•    registering online at stopsmokingcanterbury.org.nz/contact-us;
•    by phoning 0800 425 700; or
•    by emailing smokefree@cdhb.health.nz
 
Once people are referred, a Stop Smoking Practitioner will contact them to discuss how they can provide support and tailor a programme that achieves their smokefree goals.
