Free vapes for smokers
What it is:

Who it's for:
The scheme targets adult smokers (18 years and above) who are looking to quit smoking.
What it offers:
Participants receive a free vape starter kit, along with behavioral support and access to a free app.
Why it's important:
Vaping is considered a less harmful alternative to smoking as it doesn't involve combustion and therefore doesn't produce the same harmful byproducts as cigarette smoke.
