Not smoking
One way to reduce our risk of cancer and improve our wellbeing is to stop smoking. It is never too late to quit.One of the most important things we can do to reduce our risk of cancer and improve our wellbeing is to stop smoking. It is never too late to quit.
Second-hand smoking is breathing in someone else's tobacco smoke; this can also cause cancer.
By being smokefree, supporting people to quit and creating smoke-free places, together we can achieve the vision of a Smokefree Aotearoa by 2025.
There are ways you can help by not smoking around children, making your car and house smokefree, encouraging others to quit and encouraging your local marae to be smokefree.
If you are ready to quit, you don't have to do it alone. If you would like to talk to a support service as you start your quit journey visit Smokefree.org.nz or contact Quitline, Me Mutu on Quit.org.nz.
