As part of the Swap to Stop initiative we are able to offer smokers a 12 week course to include  a free vape starter kit and liquids over the 12 weeks and behavioural support to stop smoking  These kits include everything needed to start vaping, such as a vape device and e-liquids in a variety of flavours and nicotine intensities to suit your preferences.

E-cigarettes, whilst not risk free are likely to be far less harmful than smoking tobacco

  • There is not enough evidence to know whether there are long-term harms from e-cigarette use
  • E-cigarettes and vaping products are regulated but are not medically licensed
  • Evidence shows that vaping is helping people to stop smoking and getting support will make it easier to quit
  • Please contact 01924 252174 to get started  on your quit journey today and see the information on E-cigarettes on our web site
