The Relapse Register
A public record of people who quit smoking with vapes, who say that if these rules push flavoured vapes out of their reach, they are at risk of going back to cigarettes. Not a threat. A warning, on the record, that we will put in front of the Department of Health and every MP whose constituents are on it, while the Government is still writing the rules.

Tick, while you write to your MP, to put yourself on the record
How to join: tick the Relapse Register box when you write to your MP. It takes one click and no extra details.
What we publish: your first name and town only, and only after a human has moderated it. Your full details stay private (see the privacy notice).
What it's for:per-constituency counts that make this real for MPs ("217 of your constituents are at risk of relapse"), and a single, dated document for the Department of Health and the Minister, as the Government decides what comes next.
To be clear: Riot doesn't want anyone to smoke, ever. Vaping is not risk-free, but it is, by the Government's own consultation, 95% less harmful than the cigarettes it replaces. Keeping switchers switched is the whole point.
