E-cigarette terms and conditions

Purpose

The Kent Smoke free service is implementing a service to provide approximately 744 smokers in Kent the opportunity to access an e-cigarette starter pack and a four-week supply of e-liquids free of charge to use as part of their quit attempt, alongside behavioural support.

E-cigarettes can be used as a stand-alone product for a quit attempt or in combination with Nicotine Replacement Therapy – this will be discussed with the smoke free adviser at appointments.

Current evidence available shows e-cigarettes are highly effective when combined with behavioural support, cost effective, safe and appealing to smokers. The service is also targeted to ensure smokers that engage with the service are from a Routine and Manual occupation and /or more disadvantaged groups within the community. Evidence shows that e-cigarettes are particularly appealing to those from disadvantaged groups.

Disclaimers

This will be delivered by Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust (KCHFT) One You Smoke Free service which is commissioned by Kent County Council (KCC). Funding for this is being provided by Kent County Council (KCC). E-cigarette starter packs will be provided directly by Totally Wicked who are an Independent British Vape Trade Association (IBVTA) registered Vape retailer.
