Quitting smoking

If you are ready to quit smoking there are many different options and products to help you quit and stay smokefree.

Vaping

Vaping is a way to help people quit smoking. It is not harmless, but it is less harmful than smoking. Vaping is not for people who do not smoke.

Quitting vaping

Vaping is a tool to quit smoking. It is not a lifestyle product for people who have never smoked. The end goal is to be smokefree and ideally, vapefree as well.

Nicotine

Nicotine is in both tobacco and vapes. Nicotine is addictive and affects the brain by creating a feeling of pleasure.

Vaping or smoking complaints

You can complain:

  • about retailers selling vapes or tobacco to people under 18 years of age
  • about retailers displaying tobacco products
  • about smoking or vaping in workplaces, restaurants, pubs or other licenced premises
  • if you have a concern about general vape retailers such as dairies, supermarkets and service stations
  • if you have concerns about specialist vape retailers. Specialist vape shops sell mostly vape products and can sell flavoured vapes.
