Therapeutic Vapes vs Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Therapeutic Vapes vs NRT replacement therapies are not the same thing. In Australia, they are regulated differently and accessed through different pathways.

What are therapeutic vapes?

Therapeutic vapes are vaping goods intended for smoking cessation or the management of nicotine dependence. The TGA says these products are unapproved goods and have not been assessed for quality, safety, efficacy, or performance in the same way as registered medicines.Therapeutic Vapes vs NRT

What is nicotine replacement therapy?

Nicotine replacement therapy, often called NRT, includes registered products such as patches, gum, lozenges, inhalers, and mouth sprays. These products are available through pharmacies and some retailers.

Which option should I choose?

Speak with us, pharmacist, or nurse practitioner. They can help you consider your health, nicotine dependence, previous quit attempts, and support options.

Key difference

NRT products are established quit-support products. Therapeutic vapes are not first-line treatment and are only available through participating pharmacies where clinically appropriate.Therapeutic Vapes vs NRT
