In an astonishing announcement, the UK government released details of a new program to cut smoking rates in Britain dramatically. Dubbed ‘Swap to Stop,’ the initiative provides one million current smokers with free vaping starter kits and dedicated behavioral support in what is being called a “world-first.”
Joining us today from England to talk through the new plan is Louise Ross, a clinical consultant at UK’s National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training, the business development manager for the Smoke Free app, and chair for the New Nicotine Alliance, a registered charity dedicated to promoting issues around tobacco harm reduction.
Will “Stop the Swap” finally silence anti-vaping campaigners? Find out!

Unlike most of the world, the UK has always offered better quality advice to help smokers to quit, most of the long term vapers will help support new vapers or smokers who want to quit, many of us even have kits ready to give to new vapers, the conversations usually start with either a comment of “you don’t know what is in that, it is dangerous” or how did you get into vaping, I always try to offer accurate information and will often mention if they are interested I can give them a kit and some eliquid to get them started.
I am involved in some vape shows and offer the best advice and help I can, answering questions about devices and where to buy them.
I have been vaping for over 11 years and quit smoking nearly 10 years ago so have seen huge advances in devices and eliquids both in terms of quality and reliability
