Nicotine patches, gum and lozenges are about to get cheaper for smokers trying to quit the deadly habit.
Those with a Quit card or prescription from a doctor will get a bigger subsidy on the nicotine replacement therapies from Tuesday of next week.
An eight week supply which normally would have cost $20, will now be available for just $6.
Associate Health Minister, Tariana Turia, says one of the government's priorities is to help people quit smoking.
"Many people smoke because they have formed an uncontrollable dependence on cigarettes, and need all the help they can get to make the dramatic change required."
