SummaryThe project is about helping people of Bay of plenty quit smoking. In doing so, it would be essential to come up with a target group and also look at the current policies in New Zealand on the same issue. In addition to that, the project would come up with a national initiative and another one that supports the national initiative which will form the basis ofcoming up with the suggestions on Bay of plenty region on helping people quit smoking. On the other hand, the suggestion or rather proposals are to be viewed by the management team that will determine whether the project is worth to be put into practice.Thus, the proposal is a means of trying to convince the team or rather the management to accept the proposal. Additionally, it is important to convince to air out what needs to be done by the management at the moment as far as the project suggestion is concerned. It is, therefore, crucial to also highlight this as far as the project proposal is concerned. Some of the ways that the project proposes to management include but are not limited to educating pregnant women on the need to stop smoking before, during and after smoking.Also, the project proposes the creation of agencies that will oversee the implementation of the project proposals. Even though the people that are more vulnerable are pregnant women and those that are in primary care, the project proposal stipulates that the whole population need to be looked at because smoking affects the whole population and not just the two groups. Another proposal is that the region needs to uphold national initiatives not only as a guide but as best practices that will also assist in helping people quit smoking.3

BackgroundSmoking is common among many populations, and various governments across the globehave put up policies to advocate for its abolition or help them do away with this behavior.In New Zealand, in particular, the government has set out a national target, which is; helpquit smoking targeting smokers in primary health care and pregnant women. However, recently, the target group has extended to include the whole population (Jha, & Peto, 2014). There are various reasons for the government choosing the selected target. Firstly, smoking would pose a serious challenge to pregnant women before, during and after pregnancy. In addition to that, a child born from a smoking mother will likely have complications and this something that the government would like to avoid (Benowitz, & Goniewicz, 2013). Moreover, over 5000 people die each year as a result of smoking, and this figure will increase in future. Thus, the government is keen to extend the target groupto include the whole population to avoid more deaths in future. Patients with primary health care form another target group that the government has identified. The governmentrolling on the initiative of better help for smokers to quit would see patients avoiding smoking or quitting it all together after they are discharged (Grana, & Ling, 2014). Additionally, for lung cancer patient, the government would help patients reduce the further progression of the disease. One of the current initiatives that relate to the above initiative is an increase of 10 percent of tax on a cigarette every year until 2020. The initiative, that is, increasing taxation on cigarettes would increase the cost of production of cigarettes, and in effect increasing its price. In addition to that, increasing taxation on a cigarette will scare away manufactures thus reducing or preventing more people from engaging in its production. It4
