What is 'Swap to Stop'?
If you are looking for help to stop smoking, the Swap to Stop project can help you. Using a vape along with other support is one of the most successful ways to stop smoking.
When you sign up, you can swap your regular cigarettes for a free vape.
You also get help, advice and one-to-one support for up to 12 weeks from ABL Wirral.
How the project works
Once you have been referred, at your first appointment the Wirral Specialist Stop Smoking Service will give you a vape, starter kit. The vape is a rechargeable closed Edge GO device which comes with replaceable pods.
You will have further appointments with a stop smoking advisor who will give you one-to-one support and more supplies of the pods for the vape.
The pods come in different flavours and your stop smoking advisor will give you advice about nicotine strength and how often to use the vape.
Old vapes or pods should be disposed of in line with local council policy. There are also vape disposal bins at many large supermarkets and they can also be disposed of at Household waste and recycling Centres* (HWRC)
*Please check on HWRC website in case of any changes.
