In 2019, the UK government was adamant about putting an end to smoking by 2030, this meant the population of smokers should have been below 5%. Unfortunately, the campaign was unsuccessful - the population of smokers was well over 14%
Fast forward to 2023, the estimated number of smokers was 13%. So another initiative was introduced to tackle this exacerbating problem. The campaign was introduced in April 2023 and was set to take action in 2024. The government aims to help people give up smoking as a permanent habit as smoking is the leading cause of premature and preventable deaths globally.
The Health Minister Neil O’Brien said:
“We will offer a million smokers new help to quit. We will be funding a new national ‘swap to stop’ scheme - the first of its kind in the world. We will work with councils and others to offer a million smokers across England a free vaping starter kit.”
As part of the Swap to Stop campaign, around one million smokers will receive a beginner-friendly vape kit, the kits include practically everything you need to start vaping.This includes a vape device and e-liquids in a range of flavours and nicotine levels suited for user preference.This aims to prevent dangerous pollutants present in regular cigarettes.If you are looking to shift towards a healthier lifestyle this campaign is for you
Additionally with free vaping kits the programme aims to provide educational insight as well as advice on how to use vaping devices effectively.Pregnant women will also be supported by being given vape vouchers to use as an aided incentive.
Vapes are powered devices that allow the inhalation of aerosolized e-liquid. This is normally made up of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine with added flavorings and nicotine.
E-liquids come in different nicotine concentrations and nicotine types; freebase, standard and nic salts, making them fully customisable to fulfill your cravings.
Stay tuned for updates from the government and local authorities on how to get started and claim your free vape. The local authorities have yet to confirm but the scheme aims to be fully flexible to suit the needs of the people.
