In a move that surprised many, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners have now included nicotine vape juice and vaping as one of the options for nicotine replacement therapy. Under the new guidelines, GPs and other health professionals can not only introduce, but actually recommend and prescribe vaping as a legitimate tool for quitting smoking.
In the past, GPs who support the use of vaping and nicotine e-juice were reluctant to prescribe and recommend it as a smoking cessation tool because of the lack of approval from the authorities. But now with the RACGP including it in the list of approved cessation tools, it opens up a whole new chapter to those who have been wanting to quit and were previously unsuccessful in doing so.
This move gives Australians who were scared to try vaping due to it being illegal a real shot at quitting cigarettes. This opens the doors to safer and legal ways to purchase nicotine e-juice and protection from black-market products.

l was a 40 a day smoker for over 40 years and after 3 months vaping l have not had a smoke now for over 12 months, vaping saves lives yet the gov is trying with all it’s might stop us. It doesn’t make sense to me about the greedy gov trying to make money for the COVID mess.
