World Smokefree Day 2023
2023-05-31
The theme is “We’re Backing You”, with a focus on the team effort to support whanau to quit and stay Smokefree. The key messages focus on whanaungatanga and wrap-around support, who provides it, and how. The theme is matched with a three-word whakatauki;
“Taituara, taiwhare, taieke” : with backing, even the tallest of oceans waves can be conquered
This year’s theme for World Smokefree May 2023 was chosen by brilliant and insightful rangatahi as a reflection of the teamwork and endurance of our connections and relationships over the past year.
You will find helpful resources and links for whanau, organisations, rangatahi and communities to be connected during the month of May. In celebration, Hāpai Te Hauora has created events across social media and kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) with the aim of encouraging those who are thinking about quitting to take the first step and put their plan into action.

AUAHITŪROA: A Eulogy to Tobacco - WELLINGTON
2024-05-02 - 2024-05-04 | Courtenay Creative, 49 Courtenay Place, Wellington, New Zealand
Auahitūroa – A Eulogy to Tobacco Auahitūroa is a travelling art exhibition that will start on the 1st of May and end in early June 2024 and is a collaboration between Hāpai Te Hauora with lead artists

Hori Thompson – Te Whanganui a Tara
Jessy Collins – Ōtautahi
Shane Hansen – Te Tai Tokerau
Tai Kerekere – Te Tairāwhiti
Regan Balzer – Rotorua
Graham Tipene – Tāmaki Makaurau

Auahitūroa will feature various artworks from local artists and rangatahi. The main objective of the exhibition is to prompt conversations that acknowledge the role tobacco has played in New Zealand’s culture and the impact it has had on whānau, hāpu, iwi and hāpori. Auahitūroa aims to create a space that shares the voices of the community through mediums of Art.
The term Auahitūroa refers to comets and is a wordplay on the reclamation of “auahi” (smoke). The comet is also a symbol of the catastrophic damage that would occur if it were to impact the Earth. The cyclical nature of comets’ orbits serves as a reminder of the eternal recurrence of events in the universe, and our farewell to tobacco culture in Aotearoa is a recognition of this.
We hope that through this platform we can increase awareness about a Smokefree Aotearoa and encourage discussions about the impact of smoking in New Zealand. Auahitūroa seeks to say goodbye to the deeply ingrained smoking culture in our country and acknowledges the harm tobacco has caused to communities. Auahitūroa is in support of World Smokefree May.
