Medications and vaping

Drugs such as Champix and Zyban and alternative sources of nicotine have all been proven to reduce smokers’ urge to smoke and increase the chances of successfully stopping smoking. Less harmful sources of nicotine include medicines known as nicotine replacement therapies, and e-cigarettes which are regulated as a consumer product.

Medications

Licensed nicotine replacement therapies (NRT), such as patches, gum, nasal sprays and nicotine inhalers are available to buy in pharmacies and supermarkets, as well as online. You can also get NRT on prescription.

Across Northern Lincolnshire there is an NRT voucher system, which allows you to access it for free from a number of pharmacies. They will need 24 hours to prepare and dispense the right stop smoking products for you. Please follow latest social distancing guidelines.

Many people benefit from using two kinds of NRT at the same time. A slower acting product (like a patch) and a faster acting product (like gum).

Champix and Zyban are only available on prescription so you will need to speak to your GP or local stop smoking service.

For more information visit the NHS Smokefree advice page.

Vaping

Many people find vaping products help them successfully stop smoking. Also known as e-cigarettes they have been shown to be effective. While not risk-free, vaping is much less harmful than continuing to smoke. Vaping products are available in supermarkets and pharmacists and you can buy online from specialist shops. Find a vape supplier.

For more information on e-cigarettes see the nhs.uk.

Local E-cigarette vouchers are currently not running for pregnant women as outlets are closed due to COVID-19.
