A structured consultation with a specifically trained pharmacist, covering your smoking history, quit goals, and a tailored plan that may include prescription support where appropriate.

Key benefits:

• A structured, personalised plan rather than a generic approach
• Access to prescription support where clinically appropriate
• Ongoing, judgement-free encouragement

This service may be suitable if you:

• Want to quit smoking or vaping and would like a structured, personalised plan
• Would like to explore prescription support alongside general advice

Quit plans are individually tailored, and recommendations may change based on what’s worked or not worked for you before.

Your pharmacist will assess your individual suitability, including your relevant medical history and current symptoms, before proceeding. 

Suitability for any prescription support is confirmed by the pharmacist at consultation. 

Ask your pharmacist for the relevant Consumer Medicines Information (CMI) if a medicine is provided. 

Suitability for prescription support is confirmed by the pharmacist at consultation.

Before Your Consultation

Be prepared to discuss:

• Your smoking history
• Any previous quit attempts
• Any medicines you are currently taking

During Your Consultation

Your pharmacist will discuss your smoking history and quit goals before developing a tailored plan.

How is this different from just buying nicotine patches?

This consultation is a structured, personalised program — see our Quit Smoking Support page if you’d prefer general product advice only.

Can I be prescribed medicine to help me quit?

In some cases, yes, where clinically appropriate — this will be discussed at your consultation.

Do I need multiple visits?

Many quit programs benefit from follow-up support — your pharmacist will discuss what suits you.
