Did You Do Stoptober? There’s Still Time!

Stoptober isn’t over yet – there’s still time to quit smoking with thousands of others and the support of the NHS.

The NHS has lovingly announced that October is now Stoptober in an effort to get the remaining smokers in the UK to quit, once and for all. Stoptober has seen a wealth of literature aimed at smoking cessation renewed across England and Wales and throughout HNS facilities. The message is simple: Use NHS Stop Smoking Groups to Stop Smoking for Good. As the number one way to quit smoking according to clinical trials, vape devices are a large part of the solution.

What is the Stoptober Campaign

The Stoptober campaign is an NHS idea which has run for several years now. This year, however, they have gotten organised. Those interested in participating in Stoptober can download a range of different resources for free from the government’s campaign resources page.

• Wallet cards
• Booklets
• Animations

Organisations who wish to use these materials can find the full list here.

The Role of Vaping in Stoptober

Through vaping, the country has managed to drastically reduce the number of cigarette smokers. Nevertheless, there is still work to do. Around 6 million UK residents over the age of 18 still smoke. This equates to roughly 11% of the UK population. With so many smokers still at large and a huge volume of misinformation regarding vape devices distributed freely by mainstream media, the path to becoming a smokefree country such as Sweden is still far away.

Vapes Help You Quit Smoking

With all the negative press surrounding vape device use, it is important to remember that the primary purpose of E-cigarettes is to prevent smokers from returning to cigarettes. If you want to quit smoking, then a combination of nicotine gums, patches, and vape devices with minimal nicotine, will help you do so.

Vaping to Quit Smoking

If you are vaping to quit smoking then you may be interested in the following products which are available in the Vape Direct Online Store. Each has been chosen for its ability to help in your fight against smoking.

Start with a Disposable Vape

The most popular disposable vapes include SKE Crystal, Elf Bar, and Lost Mary vapes. Stick to tobacco flavour to begin with.

Move on to a Pod Kit

If you find you like your disposable vape device, move on to a pod kit. The XROS Mini is a great starter vape. The Aspire Gotek is a little heavier duty.

Up to a Refillable

Refillable, or open tank vapes, are reusable vapes which you fill up directly using a vape juice bottle. As you advance, you may wish to use a mod kit to do vape tricks. Check out the Vaporesso Gen 80s or the Geekvape Aegis Legend.

Limit Nicotine Intake

The whole purpose of progressing through stronger vape devices is to give you that familiar hit of ‘smoke’ which you are used to while simultaneously lessening the nicotine strength of your vape juice as you go. Stick to the plan, keep lowering the nicotine strength, and soon you will be smoke-free.
