Te Hā Aukati Kaipaipa
Stop Smoking Services
Te Hā is Te Piki Oranga’s stop smoking service, available to anyone in the Te Tauhiu region – Whakatū Nelson, Waimea (Tasman), Wairau (Marlborough) and Motueka.
Te Hā means ‘the breath’ and relates to the tikanga of the traditional hongi where te hā (the breath of life) is exchanged between two people.
Te Hā is our kaupapa Māori contribution to the wider Nelson Marlborough Stop Smoking Service, provided collectively alongside Te Whatu Ora Nelson Marlborough, Marlborough Primary Health and Nelson Bays Primary Health.
This service is free and available to most people, but especially:
Te Piki Oranga whānau (enrolled clients)
Māori or Pasifika people in the Te Tauihu region
pregnant women of all ethnicities, their partners and other whānau who live in the same house
