Quitline

We’re here to support you to beat your smoking addiction. Here’s a guide to our free services, available to all New Zealanders.

Quitline – Phone 0800 778 778 or Text 4006

Call or text Quitline for free advice and non-judgmental support to quit smoking.

An advisor will talk you through the three parts of the smoking addiction – chemical, emotional and habitual. Through Quitline you can order subsidized nicotine patches, gum or lozenges – $5 for a 4-week supply (with the option of a free repeat). We’ll also send you a Quit Pack with resources to support you.

If you’ve contacted us before and had a relapse, feel free to call or text us again. We’re here to help no matter where you are on your journey to becoming smokefree.
