Electronic Cigarettes: Health Services
(asked on 23rd January 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether people who vape are given the same access to NHS services as people who smoke who are seeking to quit; and if not, why not.
This question was answered on 5th February 2020
Stop smoking services are designed to help people who wish to stop using tobacco products and offer a range of options to support. E-cigarettes are not tobacco products and therefore people using them are not eligible for stop smoking services. We would still advise everyone that not smoking/quitting entirely is the best option.
