Frequently Asked Questions

Australia regulates vaping products through a national framework. Therapeutic vapes are generally supplied through pharmacies, with access, prescribing and age requirements also affected by state and territory laws.

Yes, but access is tightly regulated. Vapes can generally only be supplied through pharmacies for therapeutic purposes such as smoking cessation and nicotine dependence management.

Vaping side effects can include throat irritation, headache, cough and nausea. Nicotine exposure may also cause toxicity and dependence, while some long-term vaping health effects remain uncertain.

Australian vaping guidelines recommend considering nicotine vaping products only in appropriate circumstances, with informed decision-making, behavioural support, monitoring and efforts to avoid dual use.

To learn how to quit vaping, start by assessing nicotine dependence and seeking behavioural support. Quitline, counselling and, where appropriate, pharmacotherapy such as NRT or varenicline may help.
