Tiaho Mai Service Goes Smokefree

Counties Manukau DHB has announced that there will be entirely no smoking in the buildings and on the grounds of their acute mental-health service, Tiaho Mai from 31 May 2012

What does this mean for Consumers/Tangata Whaiora?

• Pre-planning in the event of a Tiaho Mai stay regarding your
nicotine needs

• Free nicotine patches, gum/lozenges to help with cravings

• Information and education before your stay in Tiaho Mai

• In the event of a stay in Tiaho Mai you will be asked to hand in:

  • Lighters
  • Matches
  • Tobacco
  • Herbal cigarettes
  • Pipes
  • Cigarette papers and filters

Any items you hand in or are removed will be safely stored until you leave Tiaho Mai

Tiaho Mai invites consumers/tangata whaiora to become involved in the planning for this change.

If you would like to discuss this further or become involved please approach your Keyworker or Community Support Worker.

THANK-YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS IN NOT SMOKING AT TIAHO MAI
