It’s hard to overstate the importance of the policy shift on vaping announced this week by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. In its latest national smoking cessation guidelines, the College now advises GPs and other health professionals to recommend vaping to smokers who have tried to quit but were unsuccessful with currently available medications.

Peak Australian GP body supports vaping

IN A MAJOR POLICY SHIFT, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has supported vaping nicotine as an option for some Australian smokers in the latest national smoking cessation guidelines published today.

The guidelines advise GPs and other health professionals to recommend vaping for smokers who want to quit but have tried unsuccessfully with currently available medications.

Vaping is the most effective quitting aid available. A recent study found that it was nearly twice as effective as nicotine patches and gums. Vaping is not risk-free but, according to the UK Royal College of Physicians, long-term vaping is likely to be at least 95% less harmful than smoking.

Visit your local vape shop for more advice on what device and e-liquid to use and practical help in making the switch.

Meanwhile, in the United States, misguided, puritanical, and prohibitionist organizations like Tobacco Free Kids, American Lung Association, etc., funded by $180 million from billionaire prohibitionist Michael Bloomberg, distort truth, harm our health, empty our bank accounts, and push for punitive laws. In the background, like-minded individuals such as Stanton Glantz, et al., make up and distort science in support.
