Vaping and Smoking

In this section you will find information about vaping and smoking, and Organisations you can contact for Support, Advice and Guidance.

Vaping

Electronic cigarettes and vaporisers were designed to replace cigarettes and help people addicted to smoking. The vaping devices contain a liquid that can contain nicotine and come in a large variety of ‘flavours’. 

It is never too late to stop vaping and/or smoking, and when you do, the risks to your health drop dramatically. You cough less and feel less shortness of breath, your heart rate and blood pressure drop, and your risk of smoking related diseases are much lower. If you want to know more about the benefits of quitting, check out Help Me Quit’s list HERE.

Smoking

Smoking is the biggest cause of preventable deaths, and 1 in 2 smokers will die from a smoking related disease.

You must be aged 18 or older to buy cigarettes or a vape.
