Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research interview Louise Ross from the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training (NCSCT).
Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Louise Ross from the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training (NCSCT).

Louise Ross has worked in smoking cessation for over 20 years and consults for the NCSCT, and is part of the senior team on the Smoke Free App, a digital service for helping people stop smoking. NCSCT is a social enterprise committed to supporting the delivery of effective evidence-based tobacco control programmes and smoking cessation interventions provided by local stop smoking services, and by colleagues in the NHS and the social care sector.

Louise Ross talks about the swap to stop scheme that aimed to reach a million people who smoke to give them a chance to switch less harmful vapes. The swap to stop training is not only for qualified stop smoking practitioners but is also aimed at the frontline services working with for example debt management teams within social housing, homelessness, substance use, and other groups. The training models how to raise the subject of quitting smoking and swap to stop. A four week supply of e-liquid is provided and, if funds are available, a 12 week supply. People are advised how much they should use their vape and to use an e-liquid that is strong enough to manage their withdrawal symptoms, as they would be with nicotine replacement therapy. They are also advised not to stop using a vape too soon as they may go back to tobacco smoking.

Jamie and Nicola discuss ongoing work on brief opportunistic advice in financial support settings. The scoping review mentioned is available here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/add.16533
