World Smokefree Day

World Smokefree Day is about celebrating being smokefree and working towards smokefree/auahi kore lives for New Zealanders.

Also known internationally as World No Tobacco Day, it's a prime opportunity for you to promote being smokefree to your people - at work, at play, and at home with their whānau.

Being smokefree is the norm in New Zealand. Only 16% of us now smoke and fewer young people are starting. 

Promote being smokefree to your people in May. And maybe even think about creating a totally smokefree workforce - business.govt.nz's smokefree at work policy can be easily adapted to your workplace.

The World Smokefree Day website has more information to help you and your workplace to get involved and go smokefree, including a digital toolkit you're more than welcome to use.
