Quit Blogs

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!

100 Today

Cant believe I have managed to reach my 100 smokefree day feels good to even say it, though the journey has been tough it has been so worth it in every way health & monetary
To all you Cantabrians down there hope the worst is over for you & you can start to have some sort of a normal way of life I have been keeping up with news on a daily basis as I know most of us in NZ has also been doing
Wishing you all well keep up the fight & the good work
