We are pleased to announce the introduction of vapes into our local stop smoking services in Walsall, aligning with the rest of the Black Country and the West Midlands. This addition aims to expand the range of support available to our residents to quit tobacco smoking.

These sessions are designed to align with Walsall council’s new offering of vapes as a smoking cessation aid. Being something new in the community we need all healthcare professionals and advisors to fully understand and be competent with the facts and information on vapes to enable us all to offer a consistent service to our residents.
