SWAP TO STOP and make a difference

Wandsworth Healthy Workplaces

A healthy business is a productive business!

Smoking related ill health continues to affect the workplace, amounting to productivity losses of £143 million per year.

Do any of your employees smoke?

Together, we can help a million smokers take a step toward a healthier lifestyle.

Let’s Swap to Stop and make a difference!

Anyone who works in Wandsworth is eligible for stop smoking advice and support and free access to Nicotine Replacement Therapies for up to 12 weeks. This includes vape kits and supplies via the Swap to Stop programme.

The Swap to Stop campaign, introduced by the government, aims to help smokers quit by encouraging them to switch from traditional cigarettes to vaping.

Here’s how you can get involved:

1. Raise Awareness: Spread the word about the campaign within your workplace. Share information through internal communications channels, such as emails, newsletters, and posters.

2. Participate: Get involved with Stoptober this October and support smokers to quit for good. A suite of social assets, posters and digital screens can be found at the Department of Health & Social Care campaign resource centre.

3. Support: Encourage smokers to participate in the scheme. Let them know that they can receive a free vaping starter kit through the national program. This kit includes a choice of products, strengths, and flavours.

4. Sign up: Make a commitment to well-being of your employees and workplace by signing up to the Wandsworth Healthy Workplaces Award. Email publichealth@wandsworth.gov.uk for more information.
