As of January 2026, nicotine vapes are strictly regulated as therapeutic medicines in Australia. Under TGA standards effective from 2025, a valid medical prescription is mandatory. These products are only available through licensed pharmacies and must feature plain packaging with restricted nicotine concentrations (max 50 mg/mL) and limited flavours (tobacco or menthol). Holistica Health operates exclusively within this regulated medical pathway to ensure legal compliance and patient safety.
During your consultation, an AHPRA-registered GP performs a comprehensive clinical assessment of your smoking history, nicotine dependence, and health goals. We develop a structured quit plan that prioritizes first-line therapies like Quitline support and Behavioural Therapy. If clinically indicated, your GP may provide prescriptions for Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or therapeutic vaping products as part of a medically supervised harm-reduction strategy.
Non-prescribed or “black-market” vapes pose significant health risks as they are not quality-controlled and often contain toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, and unsafe nicotine levels. In contrast, prescribed therapeutic vapes are pharmaceutical-grade products heated—not burned—to minimize harmful chemical exposure. Using TGA-compliant products under medical supervision ensures you are not inhaling the 7,000+ toxic chemicals found in combustible tobacco.
Clinical evidence shows that combining NRT (patches, gums, or sprays) with Behavioural Therapy significantly increases the success rate of quitting. Behavioural therapy helps identify psychological triggers and strengthens coping mechanisms, while NRT manages physical withdrawal. Holistica Health integrates these methods into a personalized plan, providing the medical and psychological support needed to break the cycle of nicotine addiction for good.
Yes, but only under strict medical guidance. For smokers who have failed first-line treatments, pharmacy nicotine vaping products (NVPs) may be considered a lower-risk alternative to cigarettes. NVPs are designed to manage nicotine withdrawal during a transition away from combustible tobacco. At Holistica Health, our GPs monitor your progress to ensure NVPs are used as a temporary tool for cessation, not as a long-term replacement. Why Nicotine Vaping Should Be a Last Resort | Safer Quit Options
A standard cigarette contains approximately 10mg of nicotine, though a smoker typically absorbs only a fraction of that amount. A pack-a-day smoker absorbs a variable amount daily. When transitioning to prescribed NRT or therapeutic vapes, our GPs determine an appropriate schedule to manage your current intake. This aims to support a safe, gradual reduction in nicotine dependence without the toxins of tobacco smoke.
In 2026, the financial burden of smoking in Australia is at an all-time high, with a pack-a-day habit costing approximately $15,000 per year. Transitioning to a Holistica Health quit plan significantly reduces this expenditure. Beyond the immediate savings on tobacco, quitting reduces long-term medical costs and insurance premiums, allowing patients to reinvest those funds into their health and family lifestyle goals.
Smoking introduces over 7,000 chemicals, including nicotine and carbon monoxide, which cross the placenta and restrict the baby’s oxygen and nutrient supply. Clinically, this significantly increases risks for placental abruption, ectopic pregnancy, and preterm birth. For the fetus, exposure often results in low birthweight, congenital defects like oral clefts, and a three-fold higher risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Long-term, children may face impaired lung function, neurodevelopmental delays, and higher rates of childhood obesity or hypertension. Read more about risk of smoking on mother and her baby
Our specialized consultations are $59.
Yes. Therapeutic nicotine vapes are legal in Australia when prescribed by an AHPRA registered doctor and dispensed through a licensed pharmacy. Under TGA standards effective from 2025, all nicotine vaping products require a prescription, must use plain packaging, and are limited to a maximum nicotine concentration of 50 mg/mL with tobacco or menthol flavours only.
Complete the online eligibility check on the Holistica Health website, book a $59 telehealth consultation, and speak with an AHPRA registered GP. If you meet the clinical criteria for a second line nicotine vaping prescription, your GP sends an e-script directly to your chosen Perth pharmacy. The entire process can be completed online from your home.
A quit smoking telehealth consultation costs $59. This is a fixed fee that covers the full clinical assessment, personalised quit plan, and any prescriptions issued during the appointment. The cost of prescribed medications or nicotine vaping products is separate and paid at your pharmacy.
Prescribed therapeutic vapes are pharmaceutical grade products that meet TGA quality standards and are dispensed by a pharmacist. Black market vapes are unregulated, may contain toxic heavy metals and formaldehyde, and have unknown nicotine concentrations. Using prescribed products under medical supervision is significantly safer than using unregulated alternatives.
Nicotine vaping products are classified as second line therapy. This means your GP will first discuss first line cessation options such as NRT (patches, gum, lozenges), behavioural support, or prescription medications. If you have previously tried these methods without success, your GP can then assess your eligibility for a therapeutic nicotine vape prescription.
Smoking introduces over 7,000 chemicals including nicotine and carbon monoxide that cross the placenta and restrict the baby’s oxygen and nutrient supply. This increases risks for placental abruption, preterm birth, low birthweight, congenital defects, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Holistica Health strongly encourages pregnant patients to quit smoking and can provide appropriate cessation support during pregnancy.
A pack a day smoking habit in Australia costs approximately $15,000 per year in 2026. Quitting eliminates this expense entirely. Beyond the immediate savings on tobacco, quitting reduces long term medical costs and may lower insurance premiums. A $59 consultation that leads to a successful quit attempt is one of the most cost effective health decisions a smoker can make.
