How does it work?
A friendly, no judgement conversation
We'll talk through your smoking history, previous quit attempts and what support may work best for you.
A quick carbon monoxide (CO) test and registration
We'll complete a carbon monoxide (CO) test and help you fill in a short registration form to get started.
Set your quit date
Together, we'll agree your quit date. This is the date that you stop smoking completely.
Get your free vape and refill kit
You'll receive your free vape starter kit and refills there and then, so you can begin your quit journey right away.
Regular support from our team
We'll arrange regular support sessions with one of our friendly advisors, to help you manage cravings, stay motivated and stay smokefree.

Questions & Answers
Who can sign up for Swap to Stop?
Anyone aged 18+, who currently smokes and lives, works or is registered with a GP on the Isle of Wight.
Do I need to stop smoking right away?
Together with one of our team, you'll set your 'quit date'. This is usually within 2 weeks of joining. After this date, you will no longer smoke cigarettes.
What if I've tried to quit before?
That's totally fine. Many people try several times before quitting for good - and with our support, you're three times more likely to quit than going it alone.
Won't I just get addicted to vaping instead?
Vaping is much less harmful than smoking and can help adults who smoke to quit cigarettes, especially when combined with behavioural support from our stop smoking team. Many people use vaping as a temporary tool to help them stop smoking, and we can also support you to stop vaping when you feel ready.
