E-cigarettes or vapes are now the most popular way of stopping smoking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our research has previously shown that they may be particularly helpful in helping people to not only quit, but to stay quit for good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We wanted to see whether GPs giving out vape shop vouchers, alongside support from the stop smoking service, can help smokers quit. We particularly wanted to target vulnerable and disadvantaged smokers who had failed to quit smoking by other means,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Louise Smith, Norfolk&#8217;s Director of Public Health, welcomed the collaboration with UEA on this council-led initiative to further develop services to support people to quit smoking.<\/p>\n<p>The team worked with GPs in Great Yarmouth, in a bid to help patients with comorbidities who had tried and failed to quit smoking previously.<\/p>\n<p>Around 21 percent of people who live in Great Yarmouth smoke tobacco, compared to 14 percent of people in the rest of Norfolk, and 15 percent as a national average.<\/p>\n<p>The pilot scheme saw 668 participants referred to receive a vape shop voucher that could be redeemed for an initial starter kit from a local vape shop.<\/p>\n<p>Of these, 340 went on to redeem their voucher.<\/p>\n<p>As well as picking up their starter kit, the participants were given advice about e-liquid strengths and flavors, and provided with additional support from Smokefree Norfolk.<\/p>\n<p>The research team also interviewed some of the participants about their experience, alongside vape shop staff, GPs and staff at Smokefree Norfolk.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Notley said, &#8220;This innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach saw the NHS local stop smoking service, vape retailers and researchers working together, recognizing that other forms of smoking cessation support do not work for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This scheme enabled 42 percent of entrenched smokers who redeemed a voucher to have successfully quit smoking at four weeks. This is especially important because it helped those who have tried and failed to quit smoking many times to move away from tobacco.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Overall, the project was well received by smokers as it offered an affordable route into vaping. GPs supported the scheme and appreciated being able to offer an alternative to entrenched smokers,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>The team hope that a similar voucher scheme could be rolled out across the UK, to help more people switch from smoking to vaping, and reduce the number of people that still smoke cigarettes.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Researchers evaluate free vape kit program for smoking cessation\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                A pilot e-cigarette voucher scheme in a rural county of the United Kingdom, <i>Nicotine and Tobacco Research<\/i> (2022).<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of East Anglia<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uea.ac.uk\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/medx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Vape starter kits could help smokers quit (2022, August 18)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 19 August 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-08-vape-starter-kits-smokers.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
