Non-prescription:
Smoking cigarettes involves the burning of tobacco (which contains nicotine), while vaping involves the heating of a substance (e.g. nicotine). This may sound similar but the process of burning tobacco causes the compounds to combust. As a result, many toxic chemical by-products are produced in the smoke, which are harmful to your health. These may include:
Not all vaping products contain nicotine. Vaping products are also known as e-cigarettes and vapes, and can be completely nicotine free. Non-nicotine vaping products only contain flavourings and do not require a prescription.
There is insufficient evidence to date on the potential long term impacts of vaping use. More research is required to fully understand the benefits vs. risks of e-cigarettes. Like most things, vaping products do have inherent dangers that should be considered. Click here for more information on risks.
To understand these risks fully, you should always speak to a doctor. Click here for a doctor referral.
Smartstop products are not registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) and can only be prescribed through the Special Access Scheme (SAS), the Authorised Prescriber Scheme (AP) or by Clinical Trial as they are unapproved therapeutic goods. Unapproved therapeutic goods have not been evaluated for quality, safety, efficacy or performance. Therefore, the prescribing health practitioner must consider the available evidence to support the use of the unapproved product and any potential risks for the individual patient. The responsibilities of the prescribing health practitioner include adhering to relevant standards of the goods medical practice and obtaining informed consent. The long-term health risks of unapproved products, even those that comply with TGO 110, are still unclear. Patients can also call Quitline 13 78 48 or visit the Quit Now website.
