Nicotine vape sellers are facilitating prescriptions for customers who never step foot in a doctor’s office or pharmacy, in what medical bodies say is a blind spot in regulations designed to restrict products to smokers trying to quit.
“If these nicotine products are a prescription medication, they should be prescribed in the context of a patient’s healthcare and overall health; and that is not achieved through a web form or a five-minute phone call.” “Only one in three people who used e-cigarettes reported that they use them to help quit smoking, so most people are using them recreationally.”Prescription Vape, an Australian pharmacy group, also offers prescriptions and vaping products.
Major pharmacy chain Chemist Warehouse refers customers seeking to purchase vapes to the online service Instant Switch, whose prescribers are listed. Bonning said the association didn’t consider vaping to be a good cessation aid. The college of GPs considers vaping a “second or third” option for people trying to quit, Willett said.
