00:00Okay, and Lily, can you just tell me what the Fresh Start initiative is all about then, please?
00:05So Fresh Start is about stopping smoking, so what we're encouraging people to do is to swap to stop.
00:10So if you come along to our sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday morning, you can receive a free vape for a two-week programme
00:18and encouraging you to stop smoking cigarettes and start using a vape, which then you go forward to a 12-week programme if you find it something that's working for you.
00:26I know you work with local families, just what difference can it make to families when people do go up smoking?
00:31So the health benefits massively. Obviously, the family sees that, not just the person who is stopping smoking,
00:39so taste and smell comes back pretty quick, and obviously your heart and long health improves massively when you stop smoking cigarettes.
00:46Also good for the wallet, good for the bank balance?
00:48Yeah, massively.
