Most vapers want to quit – GP resources available to support

A new survey released by Quit and Cancer Council shows the majority of Australians who currently vape plan to stop or reduce the amount they vape in the next three months. This data supports the Australian Government’s intentions to strengthen and streamline prescription-only access to vaping products, to end sales of non-therapeutic vapes.

The Quit Centre provides education and tools for GPs to help patients quit tobacco and e-cigarettes, and patients could be referred to the Quitline.

The TGA’s vaping hub also has information for prescribers including regulation reforms, prescribing and pathways for vaping and smoking cessation.
