UK GOVERNMENT URGES SMOKERS TO SWAP CIGARETTES FOR VAPES

Smoking is a dangerous and life-threatening habit that millions of people around the world struggle with. The UK Government is working to combat this issue with their 'swap to stop' scheme, which aims to make England smoke-free by 2030. The initiative will provide 1 million smokers with a vape starter kit and behavioural support to quit smoking, ultimately improving public health and reducing the burden on the healthcare system.

At Riot Rehab, we believe that this initiative is a step in the right direction towards a smoke-free future. We are committed to providing smokers with the resources and support they need to quit smoking and transition to a healthier alternative.

THE ALARMING EFFECTS OF SMOKING AND THE NEED FOR CHANGE

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths and diseases, with up to 2 out of 3 lifelong smokers dying from smoking-related illnesses. It is crucial to support smokers in their journey to quit, and the 'swap to stop' scheme aims to do just that by offering a practical solution to help smokers make a healthier choice and embrace a smoke-free future.

RIOT REHAB'S SMOKE-FREE MK CAMPAIGN

At Riot Rehab, we are already ahead of the Government's plan with our Smoke-Free MK campaign. Our aim is to make Milton Keynes smoke-free by 2025, five years ahead of the Government plan. We believe that by working together with the local authorities and offering support to smokers, we can make a significant impact on the smoking rates in the area and improve public health.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT NICOTINE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Switching to vaping has numerous benefits for smokers, including reduced health risks, improved lung function, and a decreased likelihood of smoking-related diseases. The 'swap to stop' scheme focuses on promoting vaping as a tool for established adult smokers to quit. It is crucial to choose the right nicotine replacement therapy that suits your needs, whether it's the patch, gum, or vape.
