Smokers looking to quit will have a new tool at their disposal.

VPZ has launched a new support service for adult smokers in Carlisle.

The launch of the service is part of a UK-wide plan to help a quarter of a million people make the switch to vaping over the next 12 months.

A reduction in stop smoking services has limited support to help people stop.

Now, Scottish company VPZ want to offer help smokers in Carlisle. Those who take part in the scheme will also be offered a money-back guarantee on their starter kit.

Doug Mutter, director at VPZ, said: β€œAt a time when people throughout the UK are having less access to local stop smoking services, we are investing so we can help tackle this problem and improve the health of the community here in Carlisle and across the nation.”
