£500 Cash To Quit

Smokers can win £500 if they successfully stub out the habit if they apply during the nationwide Stoptober campaign, thanks to the UK’s largest vaping retailer Vape Club

Vape Club is the UK’s largest online retailer of vape pens, e-cigarettes and vaping accessories. Formed in 2012, Vape Club became the one-stop shop for all of the best vaping products from around the world. Vape Club gathered the best juice brands, hardware, batteries and accessories from all corners of the globe and made it a simple, fast and a pleasant experience for UK vapers to purchase them.

Are you looking to quit smoking? If you’re one of the 6.9 million adult smokers in the UK, there’s now another reason to give it up. This November, the UK’s largest vaping retailer Vape Club will give five people £500 in cash if they quit.

The Cash to Quit Challenge follows recent research by the University of East Anglia, which found that half of all smokers quit when given a financial incentive.

With 20 cigarettes now costing between £9.50 and £13, smokers are spending an eye-watering £3,500 to £5000 per year on their habit. This equates to over £330 a month, as energy prices remain high and interest rates are predicted to rise further.

To take part, smokers must be 21 or over and enter their email address in the entry form on the terms and conditions page. Vape Club will then choose five participants at random, inviting them to attend four virtual quitting smoking consultations for users looking to switch to vaping conducted by smoking cessation experts. To chart their progress and help inspire other quitters, participants will record one video a week during their quitting journey in November.

Participants who submit four videos and complete the quitting sessions will receive £500 in cash. Smokers can apply to take part until Sunday 30th October.

Dan Marchant, director at Vape Club, says: “Stoptober is a great opportunity to quit smoking if you’re looking to stub it out. Over two million smokers have used the initiative, now in its 10th year, to give quitting a go. With people feeling the pinch as the cost of living rises and rises, we wanted to offer both our expertise and financial support to help people quit – and save thousands each year.

“We really hope this challenge will motivate more people to quit smoking this year. Not only can it have huge financial benefits, but it’s also the best thing smokers can do for their health.”
