Updated PSA guideline

The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia has recently updated its guidelines (December 2025) for pharmacists providing smoking and vaping cessation support in response to the regulatory changes in 2024 and 2025.

Professional practice guidelines for pharmacists: Nicotine dependence support sets out clear legal, professional and ethical standards for pharmacists providing nicotine dependence support, which are also reflective of the legislative changes to supply therapeutic vapes in pharmacies. It outlines pharmacists’ responsibilities in assessing and managing nicotine dependence and the use of behavioural interventions such as Quitline.
