NHS Primary Care offers vape as smoking alternative
The NHS is offering smokers an alternative way to quit smoking through a vape offer. This offer can allow those struggling to quit smoking to replace this habit with a more healthy option.
The brand Totally Wicked are offering their vapes to those looking to free themselves from their cigarette smoking habit.
Vaping save lives
Here is why vaping saves lives:
- Vaping is 95% safer than smoking
- At worst 5% of the harm of smoking – view supported by PHE, RCP and reports in most reputable journals
- Vaping is the most effective aid to quitting ever known
- Vaping has been found to be around twice as effective as conventional NRT, and is particularly effective when used in conjunction with behavioural support
- Less chance of relapse with behavioural support
Why flavours are important
Here is why vape flavours are important:
- A fundamental part of the vaping experience
- Make vaping a more interesting experience for quitters
- Can be changed independent from changes in nicotine strength
- Tobacco is a familiar starting point, but most move quickly to other flavours
“Contrary to many media and US government reports, vape businesses do not manufacture and market flavoured e-liquids to make vaping more attractive to young people, but to make vaping attractive to adult smokers. The vast majority of smokers have stopped smoking completely through vaping have done so using flavours other than tobacco, as flavours are an important part of the alternative experience”.

Being eligible for a free vape kit
In order to get your free starter kit from Totally Wicked, you will need to first contact your GP practice and go through the following process.
At your first appointment, we will need to:
- Ascertain your readiness to quit smoking cigarettes
- Ensure you follow a behavioural change programme
Once your GP practice acknowledges your willingness to change your smoking habit and you have followed the behavioural change programme, you will be issued a code for a PGPK Starter Kit and provided a link to the Totally Wicked website.
After you receive your code, when you complete your purchase on their website, the amount will reduce to “0” and your order will be shipped to you accordingly.
