Vapes
We are now able to offer vapes as part of our service to help tobacco smokers quit. The vapes prescribed by our team are free, non-disposable, discreet, and fully compliant with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Currently, vaping is considered the most effective aid for quitting tobacco and helps prevent relapse. As part of our 12-week programme, we provide vapes along with a range of E-liquids in various flavours and strengths, tailored to suit each smoker’s level of nicotine dependency.
We have put together this leaflet with information about the vape we offer as well as top tips and facts about vaping:
