Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
NRT involves therapeutic doses of nicotine, to reduce symptoms associated with withdrawal. Some types of NRT include lozenges, patches, inhalators and gum. [2]
Combination therapy
This type of therapy involves utilising both a long-lasting NRT treatment and a faster-acting dispersal method to achieve successful results.
Pharmacotherapy
Products administered for pharmacotherapy act on neurotransmitters to alleviate cravings and symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal.

Why do people vape?
There are many reasons why someone may start vaping, with one of the most common being as a means to transition from quitting smoking.
Alongside this common cause for vaping, studies show that peer pressure, environmental factors, cost and social exposure may also influence someone’s decision to start vaping. [1]
Symptoms of vaping-related health conditions
Many vape products contain nicotine, a highly addictive and harmful chemical. Acting as a stimulant within the body and brain, nicotine can cause both short and long term health issues, including high blood pressure, elevated heart rate, blood clots, sexual dysfunction and chest pain. [1]

Frequently asked questions
In most cases, NRT is the most effective treatment to quit vaping products. Although the body still receives nicotine through a different dispersal method, it is a controlled, low-dose release that is only used for a short period to assist in the symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal. [2]
As recommended by Therapeutic Guidelines Australia, a member of the hub.health team may prescribe nicotine replacement therapy, combination therapy or pharmacotherapy.
If you feel the urge to vape within 30 minutes of waking in the morning or are vaping multiple times throughout the day, you will likely develop nicotine dependence. For patients that align with this category, NRT is often recommended as an aid to quit vaping. [1]
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. When people choose to quit vaping, it is not uncommon to experience severe nicotine withdrawals.
Abruptly eliminating nicotine from your body can cause significant mental and physical changes, making it difficult for people to regulate their emotions during this time of transition. [2]
Although the symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal can be uncomfortable, they cannot hurt you and are only temporary. Prescribed treatments are an effective way to ease withdrawal symptoms and can provide a more sustainable solution than going it alone with the cold turkey method.
