Star in Quitline's new ads

Hi bloggers

We're looking for people who have quit smoking with the help of Quitline to take part in our new advertising campaign.

We're looking for all different kinds of people. Shooting will take place in early March in the Wellington region so it would be ideal (but not essential!) if you were living in the area.

To register your interest, please email Sarah Woods: sarahw@quit.org.nz
It would be very helpful if you could include some information about yourself and your quitting journey.

Many thanks!

Hi there Lisa - hope you've had a chance to hug your lad. Days like this do appear and if you can push though this without smoking then you'll be learning a huge lesson. If you give in then the lesson will be lost. Stick with it Lisa - kids are forgiving creatures and your 4 year old will thank you when he's 10 and you have the energy and enough puff to run around and kick a ball with him. Try and turn a blind eye and count to 10 before reacting to his 'mishaps and misadventures'. Tomorrow's another day Lisa. Forget being house proud and start to taking it easier on yourself. Remember you're quitting first and foremost for all of the health benefits that there are and secondly so your kids will have a healthy mum around and a granny for their kids. This is just a phase Lisa - push through it whilst remaining smokefree and it will soon come to an end. Have you thought of using Rescue Remedy? It may help take the edge off of fractious moments. ☺
