It is with deep sadness and immense aroha that we acknowledge the passing of Whaea Sue Taylor, a woman of great mana, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to the wellbeing of our people.

Whaea Sue was a trailblazer in indigenous tobacco control, whose tireless advocacy helped shape a healthier future for countless whānau. Her leadership in the Tupeka Kore movement was courageous and transformative, grounded in love for her community and a fierce commitment to protecting our mokopuna.

Her extraordinary contribution was honoured with the Dame Tariana Turia Award, a recognition of her lifelong service and the profound impact she made across Aotearoa.

Whaea Sue will be remembered not only for her mahi, but for the way she carried herself—with dignity, compassion, and strength. She was a guiding light, a mentor, and a voice for change.

We extend our deepest condolences to her whānau. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a proud grandmother, and a joyful great-grandmother. Her legacy lives on in each of you, and in the many lives she touched.

Moe mai rā, Whaea Sue.
Your light continues to shine in all that you gave, all that you built, and all that you inspired.

06/10/2025

Vaping is a growing public-health issue across Aotearoa – particularly for Māori – with the rapid uptake among rangatahi the biggest concern. To confront this challenge, Hāpai Te Hauora is launching Blocktober. This is the first dedicated vapefree month in Aotearoa with a rangatahi-focused campaign tackling the issue head on. The campaign will tour six regions this October, combining dance, tikanga Māori, and education to empower young people with knowledge about the harms of vaping and the tools to support informed hauora decisions.
Recent studies show an alarming 480,000 adults in Aotearoa now vape daily.[1] To prevent this number from climbing further, we must invest in educating the next generation. This means equipping rangatahi with the knowledge and support to make healthier choices for their future.

At the heart of Blocktober is the idea that every choice we make shapes our hauora. BLOCK is an acronym guiding this kaupapa:

Who do our choices BENEFIT?
Does it enhance LIFE?
Does it align with ORANGA WHENUA/ORANGA TANGATA?
Am I making informed CHOICES?
What is my KAUPAPA that supports my wellbeing?
Blocktober 2025 marks the beginning of an annual national campaign to promote a healthier, vapefree future in Aotearoa.
