In2006,Māorimadeup14.6%ofthepopulation–that’soneinsevenNewZealanders.By2026,thereisexpectedtobe818,000Māori–17%ofthepopulation.By2050itisentirelypossiblethattheMāoripopulationwilldoublewhatitistoday–wellovertheonemillionmark.AndbecausetheMāoriandPacificIslander workforce is projected to be considerablyyoungeronaveragethantheageingpākehāworkforce,there is little doubt that the entire economy will beparticularly dependent on just how highly skilled wemakeourselves.WiththisinmindweneedtoensurethattheCanterburyearthquakes don’t set us back. The viability ofour polytechs, our tertiary institutions and tertiaryprogrammesareofgreat importancetoourregionandournation.My concern right now is that lessMāori studentsnextyear means less Māori graduates in the future. If weallowtheearthquakestoget inthewayofourchildrenattending local tertiaryandtraining institutionsthenwealsofacetheveryrealriskthattheseinstitutionswillseetheirresourcesdiminish.

Quitting smoking is definitely worth it, especially if you have children, says a Christchurch mother.Alesha McIvor says she began smoking at the age of 15, mainly because her friends were doing it. Discovering she was pregnant three years later motivated her to quit. Now 19 years old and a devoted mother to Millie-Jane, aged 13 months, she says it was something her own mother said that prompted her decision to get rid of cigarettes from her life for good.“She used to say that when we were in her tummy it was her choice to smoke, not ours. So when she was pregnant she quit. I remembered that and thought I would do the same.”Alesha says when she smoked she would wake up every morning congested in her throat and chest. That disappeared soon after quitting and she began to feel fitter and healthier than she had in years.“When Millie-Jane was a few months old I went out one night and had a couple of cigarettes and I felt like rubbish the next day. And I didn’t want her smelling me like that. I decided to never do it again.”The hardest part about quitting smoking is breaking old habits. She and her former partner used to have a cigarette together every night after dinner. Alesha sees changing routines like that as the most important part of quitting.“If you have a smoke with your coffee in the morning, maybe try to avoid having that coffee, as it will only

make you think of smoking. Do something different. Get a new routine.”She believes it is vital to find something else to fill the time you previously spent smoking. Alesha particularly wants to encourage parents to quit smoking.“If you have got kids really try to quit because the

kids don’t like it and it is not good for them,” she says.Canterbury Smokefree Co-ordinator Vivien Daley says Canterbury calls to Quitline are down from 14 percent to nine percent since the February 22 earthquake and anecdotal feedback from General Practice teams and quit organisations is that some ex-smokers have started smoking again. “This is very worrying but an understandable trend given what we’ve all been through in the last nine months.”

Most smokers who had quit before the quakes will probably be regretting starting again, especially when times are tight and smoking is so costly, she says. Vivien challenges smokers not to let the earthquakes win - and to remember how good it felt to be a non-smoker.“Quitting cold turkey can be difficult for many people who smoke. Using NRT (Nicotine Replacement Therapy) patches, gum or lozenges doubles the chances of successfully quitting and with support from services like Aukati KaiPaipa and Quitline people are up to five times more likely to succeed.”
