From 1 October 2021, all nicotine vaping products, such as nicotine e-cigarettes, nicotine pods and liquid nicotine, are Schedule 4 (prescription only) medicines. Consumers require a prescription for all purchases of nicotine vaping products. This includes purchases from Australian pharmacies and overseas.

HOW TO GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR NICOTINE VAPING PRODUCTS IN AUSTRALIA

If vaping is right for you, you shouldn’t have any problems getting a prescription for nicotine.

  2. You’re an adult aged 18+
  3. You want to stop smoking, and cold turkey and/or other nicotine replacement therapy hasn’t worked for you.
