A growing gap in Ireland: while more people seek help to quit vaping, the HSE has no dedicated cessation service. As vaping and new nicotine products rise, tailored services are urgently needed. Collaboration across research, policy, and health systems will be key. www.thejournal.ie/hse-quit-vap...
HSE has 'no capacity or funding' to help people quit vaping
