What are the options for smoking cessation treatment?

Can I request a quit smoking prescription online?

Yes. If clinically appropriate, our doctors can issue a quit smoking prescription online to be sent via SMS, email, or forwarded to your preferred pharmacy.

What symptoms can I expect when I quit smoking?

It's common to experience both physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms when you quit smoking. These may include nicotine cravings, irritability, trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, or feeling anxious or low in mood. You might also notice an increased appetite, slight weight gain, or flu-like symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or mild dizziness.

These effects are temporary and tend to ease over time as your body adjusts. Many people find that cravings become shorter and less intense the longer they stay smoke-free. Support from a doctor can make the process easier to manage.

What about vaping — can I get help quitting that too?

Absolutely. Our doctors can support you with vaping addiction consultations from the comfort of your home, and are available 24/7. If you're seeking a quit smoking vape prescription, a consultation will determine the best approach for you, and whether or not you are eligible for a script. Reach out to a doctor fast at InstantScripts.

How can I get smoking cessation treatment online?

Begin by completing a short questionnaire about your smoking or vaping habits. Then, book a secure video consultation with a licensed doctor who can assess your situation and recommend treatment options, such as a quit smoking medication, if appropriate.

How long does it take to quit smoking with treatment?

This varies from person to person. Some people respond to treatment quickly, while others may need more time and support. Your doctor will provide tailored guidance, and you can request follow-ups with an available doctor along the way.

Depending on your situation, a doctor may recommend a combination of behavioural strategies and approved stop smoking medications to help reduce cravings and manage withdrawal.
