Devon Launches ‘Swaptober’ Campaign, Offering Vape Starter Kits to Help Smokers Quit

Public Health Devon has launched a new initiative called ‘Swaptober’ to help smokers in the region quit cigarettes by providing them with vape starter kits. The campaign aims to support the government’s goal of achieving a smoke-free England by 2030.

Approximately one in five smokers in Devon will receive the vape starter kits as part of the Swap to Stop program. While not entirely risk-free, health experts acknowledge that vaping poses fewer risks compared to smoking cigarettes. Vaping does not involve combustion, and the vapor from e-cigarettes does not contain the harmful substances found in cigarette smoke that cause lung disease, heart disease, and cancer.

However, health professionals emphasize that non-smokers should not start vaping, as more research is needed to fully comprehend the health effects of e-cigarettes. The Swap to Stop scheme targets tobacco smokers over 18 years old and offers a 12-week pathway without requiring participants to commit to quitting.
