The Swindon Borough Council Cabinet member responsible for Public Health joined the council's Stop Smoking team at a drop-in session at the town's B&Q distribution centre.
Cllr Vinay Manro was there to highlight the free support available to help people quit smoking.
A council spokesperson said: "Staff were offered carbon monoxide (CO) tests, information on local stop smoking services and free Swap to Stop vape kits.
"The initiative aims to help smokers move away from cigarettes and towards a less harmful alternative.
"In the last year, Swindon’s Stop Smoking Service supported 1,230 quit attempts, with 380 people successfully quitting the habit.
"Anyone looking to stop smoking can access free support. in person, online or over the phone."
