NCSCT New Guidance to Stop Smoking Services

[Mark]

The National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training has issued guidance to UK Stop Smoking Services and makes interesting reading. Seems they 'get' Vaping, acknowledging for eg that the service should not be about stopping recreational nicotine use....as nicotine isn't the problem. Hoorah

If you don't have the stamina to read the whole thing blogger Dick Puddlecote picks out the highlights in his own caustic way...

"Don’t be alarmed about recreational nicotine. This is a choice some people make, and it is not the business of stop smoking services to make judgements about this. We are not a ‘stop nicotine service’ and if we think getting people off their e-cigarette is a good use of our time, we are ignoring a far more important opportunity to help people quit and to stay off cigarettes."
