Description

The Taranaki Stop Smoking Service (TSSS) is delivered by qualified Quit Coaches providing group programmes, clinics or one-on-one support.  The service is free, confidential and we can come to you at any time - wherever you are.  

We know quitting is tough and group programmes enable you to give up with family, friends or work colleagues. If those around you are determined to break the habit, you will be too. The programme includes weekly support and on enrolment we can provide free patches, lozenges and gum as well as advice on vaping.
