Quitting smoking Te whakamutu i te momi paipa

Nicotine Replacement Therapy or NRT is a safe and effective way to quit smoking, by helping you deal with cigarette cravings.

Here in Aotearoa, you can get free NRT patches, gum and lozenges from a stop smoking service near you.

You can also get NRT through Quitline, or a consultation with your pharmacist or doctor.

You can buy inhalators or mouth sprays from pharmacies and at most major supermarkets, along with patches, gum and lozenges.

Cigarettes give you a quick, high dose of nicotine that keeps you hooked.

NRT provides some of the nicotine you have been getting from tobacco smoke but over a longer period of time.

This reduces cravings making quitting easier, and can double your chances of quitting for good!

NRT isn’t a magic solution.

Changing your routine and finding positive ways to deal with stress can also help you quit smoking.

Nicotine is the chemical you're hooked on, but the toxins and tar in cigarettes can make you sick and lead to heart disease or cancer.

Not ready to quit smoking yet? NRT can help you cut down on cigarettes before you stop.

If you feel a bit queasy or sick at first, you can temporarily reduce the dose until you adjust.

You can experiment with different NRT products to find what works best for you.

NRT is safe to use and is far safer than smoking!

Quitting can be tough so hang in there. Kia kaha, you can do it!

Slip-ups happen, it’s not the end of the world!

Just keep using the NRT and ask your friends and whānau for support.

Stop smoking services and Quitline offer free sessions with trained quit coaches to help you on your quit journey.

Finally, stick with NRT for at least 8 to 12 weeks. Longer if you need it.

Everyone's quitting journey is different, so keep using NRT until you’re confident that you’ve quit smoking for good.

Nicotine inhalators, also known as inhalers, are great if you miss the physical part of smoking.

The inhalator is a plastic tube containing a nicotine capsule and has very few side effects.

Simply suck on the inhalator whenever you get a cigarette craving.

At first, suck on the inhalator for 20 minutes every hour, as it's most effective if you use it regularly.

The nicotine coats the lining of your mouth and is absorbed into your system.

Another way to quickly manage cravings is the nicotine mouth spray.

For the first few weeks use the spray regularly, like one spray every hour.

Simply press the top of the dispenser to spray into your mouth, either under your tongue or on the inside of your cheek.

Give it a few seconds before swallowing, so the nicotine can get absorbed into your system.

The mouth spray might make your mouth and throat tingle a bit, but you'll quickly get used to it.

If you swallow lots of spit when using the mouth spray, you might get a touch of heartburn or hiccups.

To get started with the nicotine inhalator or mouth spray, grab yourself a starter pack at your local pharmacy or most major supermarkets.

The nicotine inhalator and mouth spray aren't subsidised like patches, lozenges, and gum, so they cost a bit more.

But they're still way cheaper than cigarettes and massively safer than smoking.

Using either the nicotine inhalator or mouth spray in combination with patches can be even more effective.

Finally, stick with NRT for at least 8 to 12 weeks, longer if you need it.

Everyone's quitting journey is different, so keep using NRT until you’re confident that you’ve quit smoking for good.

Becoming smokefree for your pēpi is one of the best ways to give them a great start in life.

Using Nicotine Replacement Therapy is safer for both of you, compared to carrying on smoking while you’re pregnant.

It's the smoke from tobacco that can cause harm to your pregnancy and baby.

When you are hapū, the first NRT options to try are gum, lozenges, an inhalator or a mouth spray.

They can help you manage those cravings and stay on track.

If these don't work well for you then a healthcare professional or quit coach might recommend patches.

Just remember to take the patch off at night to give baby a wee break from nicotine.

When you use NRT with support from your whānau, healthcare professionals or a quit coach, you're much more likely to stop smoking!

There are free programmes across the country designed for hapū māmā and their whānau who want to quit and protect the health of their pēpi.

After baby is born, support is still available to help you stay smokefree.

Talk to your local stop smoking service to see what is available to help you.

You can also get free support from a quit coach at Quitline.

Finally, stick with NRT for at least 8 to 12 weeks, longer if you need it.

Everyone's quitting journey is different, so keep using NRT until you’re confident that you’ve quit smoking for good.
