Debate
Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
I also emphasise the point which the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, referred to: stop smoking services enable smokers to have access to behavioural support from a trained adviser, as well as medicines or stop smoking products for up to 12 weeks. The specific treatments that are available to those who wish to stop smoking, or those we can encourage to stop smoking, vary across areas, but that is not a surprise in ways because it is about getting the right product and the right treatment for what is needed in the local area. But NICE does indeed recommend medicinally licensed products as well as nicotine vapes alongside, as I mentioned, behavioural interventions.
