Quit smoking – team up and go for GOLD

We want you to refer patients for
quit smoking support.
Did you know that people who have support have a
1 in 4 chance of successfully quitting, whereas they
will only have a 1 in 14 chance with just NRT.
You can also help patients by including their family/whānau who
smoke on the referral form.
Don’t forget to add their phone number. Also consider referring
parents/carers of children.
