Age and Intention Declaration

All medical guidelines strongly discourage use of nicotine for vaping in non-smokers. This service is intended for current/ex-smokers as a method of smoking cessation, and is not appropriate or suitable for non-smokers. We do not prescribe for the purposes of starting nicotine or vaping outside of previous tobacco use. Nicotine Vaping Products (NVPs) are not intended to be used as first line therapy for smoking cessation, and ideally you should have trialled approved forms of Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRTs). We strongly recommend behavioural support to accompany your smoking cessation journey.

Please note that if you are purchasing nicotine products from an overseas supplier, you will receive a PDF prescription so that you can send/upload to your overseas supplier to attach with your package, or as evidence if you are contacted by Australian Border Force.

However, you cannot use this prescription at pharmacies if they stock your products, as PDF prescriptions have to legally be sent directly from the doctor to prevent people from using the prescriptions at multiple locations.

If you need a pharmacy prescription (make sure your pharmacy stocks the products first), please go back to select 'From an Australian Pharmacy')
I understand that I can use this prescription only for Personal Importation Scheme. *
