Quit Smoking & TGA Guidance
Understanding the regulations
In Australia, nicotine vaping products and other smoking cessation aids are subject to strict TGA regulation.
These products are managed through medical pathways to support adults who are trying to quit smoking or manage nicotine dependence under clinical supervision.
Prescribers are guided by TGA and clinical guidelines when considering vaping products or other therapies for smoking cessation or nicotine dependence.
Why this matters for your quit journey
Australia’s TGA regulations are designed to protect public health while enabling legitimate access to clinical options for quitting smoking. Because of these requirements:
Nicotine vaping products aren’t considered first-line treatments - they may be recommended only when other approved methods haven’t worked.
Access pathways like authorised prescriber and Special Access Scheme routes ensure safe, tailored prescribing.
What you need to know
Quitting smoking and cutting nicotine dependence can look different for everyone.
Some people benefit from standard TGA-approved therapies like nicotine replacement patches or gum, while others may explore additional clinical options under professional guidance.
