From 6th June 2021, the Essex Wellbeing Service has been running a pilot using e-cigs as a smoking cessation aid.
Eligibility is based on service users:
- Being current smokers
- Being aged 18 years and above
- Living in certain areas of Essex (get in contact to find out if your postcode qualifies)
You’ll be given a free rechargeable and refillable device alongside a choice of flavoured e-liquids.
Those eligible can participate in an 8-week course (subject to ts & cs), using the device either with or without Licenced Nicotine Replacement Therapy.
For more information about the pilot contact the team on 0300 303 9988.
