Switch and Save

Switch and Save For A Holiday

The rising cost of living has everyone rethinking their spending habits. For smokers, quitting or switching to safer alternatives is not only a life-changing health decision but also a way to save thousands of pounds each year.

Our Switch, Quit & Save campaign helps smokers in Wales understand the financial benefits of quitting or switching to less harmful nicotine products, while also offering advice and resources to help make the change. Click here to learn more about the Cost of Smoking.

Why It Matters?

Health First

Smoking remains one of the leading causes of preventable illness and death in Wales. Quitting smoking reduces the risk of life-threatening conditions like cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses.

Financial Relief

Switching to vaping or nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can save a smoker up to £2,900 per year compared to cigarettes. Quitting entirely offers even greater financial freedom, providing more opportunities to invest in your future.

Support Is Key

The journey to quit smoking is different for everyone. Professional support, combined with NRT or vaping, can triple your chances of success compared to going it alone.

Understanding Nicotine Addiction

Smoking isn’t just a habit—it’s an addiction. Nicotine keeps people dependent, making quitting challenging, but understanding the science behind addiction can be empowering. With the right tools and support, breaking free from nicotine is entirely possible.

Stop Smoking Medications

Medications like Bupropion (Zyban) can help reduce cravings and increase your chances of success by up to 100%. Speak to your GP about whether this is right for you.

Switch to Vaping

Vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking and can be a stepping stone toward quitting completely. After the initial investment in a refillable kit, it’s also a more affordable option.
