Swap to Stop

Stop to Swap for West Yorkshire Residents: a healthier path forward with the Leeds Stop Smoking Service

Swap to Stop is a new scheme open to all West Yorkshire smokers over 18 years old who are wanting to quit

The scheme provides a FREE vape starter kit and oils tailored to you to help you swap to a less harmful alternative to cigarettes. Around 2 in 3 long term smokers will die from smoking but vaping is one of the most effective tools to support your quit.

We are here to help

If you're a resident of West Yorkshire, this is your chance to make a positive change!

By joining Swap to Stop you'll also be part of a community of like-minded individuals, taking steps toward better health and supporting each other on the road to a smoke-free future.

Is vaping harmful?

Vaping isn’t risk-free, but it’s substantially less harmful than smoking. It exposes users to far fewer toxins and at lower levels than smoking cigarettes. Switching to vaping significantly reduces your exposure to toxins that can cause cancer, lung disease, heart disease and stroke. These diseases are not caused by nicotine, which is relatively harmless to health.
