Feedback from residents who have successfully completed the programme:
'In January this year I was happy as a smoker, but with valid concerns about health risks. An advisor from Quit Well Newham set up a smoking cessation clinic in January at our workplace. I was curious and attended. I wasn’t ready then to give up.
With the advisor’s offer of a vape and support it prompted me to think about giving up again. I did give up in March, with the vape. It’s been 48 days now from cigarettes.It’s been relatively painless using the vape to give up.
Thanks for the support ' -Anonymous service user employing only E-cigarettes.
'Thank you for your timely call, I am currently only occasionally vaping and have event stopped using the nicotine gums that I was advised to give up tobacco. I am grateful for the help provided just before Ramadan that allowed me to give up for good.' - Anonymous user that employed both E-cigarettes and Nicotine Replacement Therapy in combination.
