Smokefree North Somerset is excited to be part of the world-first national Swap to Stop scheme, which aims to help the government meet its ambition of being smokefree by 2030!

One million smokers are being encouraged to swap cigarettes/roll ups for vapes under the Swap to Stop scheme designed to improve the health of the nation and reduce smoking rates.

Here at North Somerset Council, we’ve partnered with Bristol City council and South Gloucestershire Council to bring you our Swap to stop portal where you can sign up for a free vape kit. If you’d like to stop smoking by switching to a vape kit and don’t want our behavioural support then sign up using the link below, today.

You can join our Swap to Stop scheme if you:

  • currently smoke cigarettes or tobacco
  • live in North Somerset
  • are aged 18 or over
