This will include those who are temporarily resident, and those who work in the LCC footprint but live outside the area.The service will offer a combination of behavioural support, nicotine replacement therapy and access to e-cigarettes. The addition of e-cigarettes to the service offer follows evidence from NICE (National Institute of Care Excellence) and OHID (Office for Health Improvement and Disparities) (Office for Health Improvement and Disparities) and service user consultation which suggests that they are an effective quit aid that are much safer than smoking and offer an opportunity to engage more smokers and achieve a higher number of quits.

Strand 3: Strategic - The Service will build relationships with key partners to reduce inequalities in smoking related ill health. The successful provider will develop a systematic approach to achieving national and local strategic aims and ambitions.
