Porotiti

What the rangatahi said about the porotiti…..

“I used it, during class times when I wanted a smoke...it relaxed me.” Female aged 12

“When you wanted to have a smoke, just go read it [information about taonga puoro] and played with the Porotiti. It’s a big help.”Female aged 15

I used it [the porotiti] instead of getting up and getting a smoke.”Male aged 16

Ngā whainga – our aims:

• Address the barriers that Māori smokers may experience in receiving cessation support.
