New child-specific vaping cessation guidance for GPs ahead of govt crackdown

Professor Nick Zwar said GPs were already being asked by young patients and parents about vaping cessation.

Tailored advice for under-18s and young adults who use nicotine vapes will be added to the RACGP’s updated smoking cessation guidelines before the end of the year.

A new vaping cessation module will go live ahead of the Federal Government’s looming crackdown, including a ban on imported single-use and non-therapeutic products to curb soaring rates of use.
