Accessing vaping prescriptions in Northern Territory
As of 1st October 2021, Australiaans require a prescription to legally vape nicotine. If you live in the Northern Territory and are ready to quit smoking or current vape, this means you will need a prescription from your GP or a medical service provider such as Help Me Stop.
Who can be prescribed vapes in the Northern Territory?
At Help Me Stop our mission is to reduce the health risks of smoking for Aussies. Anyone wanting to quit smoking and reduce the negative impacts of tobacco on their health is eligible for prescription vaping, as long as they have tried other ways to quit first.
Vaping is only used as a second-line treatment for quitting smoking. So if you have tried (and failed) to quit before using medications, nicotine replacement patches or gums you will be eligible for a vaping prescription.
Are nicotine vapes legal in NT?
In Darwin, throughout NT and Australiaa, vaping nicotine is illegal – unless you have a prescription. Purchasing black market, under the counter nicotine vapes from tobacco stores or some online sources, are less likely to have safety mechanisms and meet Australiaan guidelines.
If ordering vape liquid from international suppliers it is recommended you request a copy of your prescription to be included in the package to avoid any penalties or fines.
To avoid any penalties or uncertainty about your vape prescription, accessing vaping via Help Me Stop or your doctor will ensure you receive a vape device and vape liquid that meets Australiaan standards.
