What is Swap to Stop?
Smokefree Liverpool’s Swap to Stop scheme is a groundbreaking initiative designed to help adult smokers transition from smoking to vaping. You will receive a free e-cigarette starter kit, along with e-liquids and personalised support to quit smoking for good.
Smoking is responsible for around 64,000 deaths each year in the UK and remains a major cause of health differences. Research has shown that vaping is a less harmful alternative to smoking and an effective tool for breaking the habit. Our scheme provides smokers with the resources and support they need to successfully make the switch.
Smokefree Liverpool is committed to tackling smoking-related health issues, focusing on communities with the highest smoking rates and tailoring support to the needs of local people.

What’s the catch?
