He aha ai? Why do we smoke? 🚬
For many of us, smoking is tied to routines — morning coffee, after kai, driving, stress, boredom, or even just habit. ☕️

🕐 Postpone your first smoke – wait an hour longer than usual
🚭 Create smokefree spaces – in your car, home, or at mahi
➖ Smoke one less a day – small steps build big wins
🌅 Try a smokefree morning – see how it feels
💧 Craving a smoke? Try a cold glass of water, a quick karakia, prepping kai, or playing with your tamariki.

Every positive change helps rewire habits and brings you closer to your goals. You don’t have to do it all at once — just take that first step.
