About Smoking Cessation
Smoking is very addictive- quitting is often hard, but is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your long term health and well-being. It is very common to have a few unsuccessful attempts, so it’s important to keep trying. A good plan and the right support makes quitting an achievable goal.
Quitting smoking is different for everyone- some people find it relatively easy, others find it more difficult. Withdrawal symptoms are common while quitting, as the body is no longer receiving nicotine (the addictive drug in tobacco).

How online smoking cessation treatment works
Qoctor can assess people who want to quit smoking and discuss treatment options such as nicotine replacement therapy or prescription tablets. An AHPRA-registered doctor will review your smoking history, health and medicines during a consultation.
Your doctor will help determine whether online treatment is suitable and recommend further support where needed.
FAQs
The online doctors at Qoctor can provide a video consultation to discuss your options with regard to smoking cessation. As well as general support from a health professional, treatment used in quitting can include nicotine replacement therapy (e.g. patches), and/or prescription-only medicine. These treatments, along with behavioural supports and other positive health steps, can boost your chances of quitting successfully.
A telehealth doctor consultation with Qoctor costs $29.99.
If a prescription is issued, you can have it posted to you, or sent electronically to your local pharmacy.

Every Qoctor prescription is considered only after a real-time video or phone consultation with an AHPRA-registered Australian doctor — never from an automated online form. Treatment is provided in line with the Medical Board of Australia’s telehealth guidelines.
Telehealth is not suitable in all medical situations — patients will be advised if an in-person assessment is needed. In an emergency, call 000.
