How vaping can help you quit smoking

Vapes (also known as e-cigarettes) are electronic devices that let you inhale nicotine in an aerosol, or vapour, instead of smoke.

The routines and rituals of smoking can be hard to stop, so vaping can help you gradually let go of these while immediately reducing the health risks of smoking cigarettes.

Evidence shows that vaping is less harmful than smoking. Vaping exposes users to fewer toxins and at lower levels than smoking cigarettes.

However, vaping is not risk-free. Non-smokers and young people under 18 should not take up vaping. You can learn about other stop smoking aids here.

Our support

We can support you to stop smoking with the option of using a vape  (if aged 18+) through the stop to swap programme.

We offer telephone or in-person support, including weekly drop-ins, for up to 12 weeks and provide free products to aid your journey to a smoke-free life.

If you would like to find out more or to sign up to the scheme, please complete the contact form at the bottom of the page.

For those that have already signed up, more information is included below on the support process, as well as video examples of how to get started with your vape.

The process

If you are having face-to-face support you will be provided your vape kit straight away when you see us at your first appointment.

How to order

This video takes you trough ordering your vape online, step-by-step.

Your products arrive!

You will receive a Tornado GTL device, a wall plug (to charge it) and enough e-liquid to last several weeks.

Watch the video for instructions on setting up your device and getting started.

If you have any problems, don’t worry, your practitioner will assist you.

Don’t forget to prime your coil before installing it in your vape!

A new atomizer head is dry and unused. Installing it without e-liquid can burn the cotton, even if you add liquid later. Properly priming the coil is essential to avoid dry spots, preventing a bad taste, muted flavour, or reduced vapor production. Watch this video to see how to prime a vape coil.
