NRT works by providing a controlled amount of nicotine without the harmful toxins found in cigarettes.

By delivering nicotine in a more controlled manner, it helps alleviate withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, cravings and mood swings, making it easier for you to stop smoking.

Many people try to quit smoking using willpower alone, but with the right help, there are easier ways to become smokefree.

Evidence shows that you are four times more likely to stop smoking successfully with the aid of stop smoking medication.

Smoking vs Vaping

  • Smoking is harmful to your physical and mental health.
  • One cigarette alone contains 7000 chemicals, 69 of them directly linked to cancer.
  • Vapes are devices that deliver nicotine within an inhalable aerosol by heating a solution.
  • Vapes do not burn tobacco and do not produce tar or carbon monoxide- two of the most harmful substances in cigarette smoke.
  • Vapes were created as a tool to help adults quit smoking.
  • Vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking.
  • If you do not smoke DO NOT vape
  • If you are under 18 years old and you have never smoked, you should not vape.

Our team has been actively engaging with schools across Ealing, delivering informative assemblies about the risks of vaping. While many young people believe vaping is a safe alternative to smoking, we aim to raise awareness of the potential harms, including nicotine addiction and lung damage.

Through interactive discussions, we helped students understand the impact of vaping on their health and provided them with the necessary details to make informed decisions. Our sessions were impactful and gave a helpful insight into the damage they could be doing to themselves if they chose to pick up the habit. We remain committed to supporting young people in leading healthier, smoke-free lives.
