About The Program
The Quitmate program has been designed to help you quit smoking, with a group of doctors and support staff available every step of the way. Quitting smoking is a process and usually requires multiple attempts and professional support. It’s okay if you have tried to quit smoking and have been unsuccessful. That’s normal. Our doctors understand the journey you need to take for you to quit smoking for good. Understanding how to deal with cravings, how to deal with high-risk triggers for smoking and choosing the right nicotine replacement products are important parts of our support and education program.
If you have tried to quit smoking in the past and have been unsuccessful and prefer e-cigarettes and nicotine vaping products as part of your plan, online vaping prescriptions may be available. We organize convenient home delivery of all your products from our partner pharmacies and we will provide regular bulk billed Telehealth support to help you reduce your nicotine use over time.
