Other stop smoking aids
POM products
Pharmacies may be able to supply Champix (varenicline) or Zyban (bupropion) if there is a patient group direction (PGD) in place to support a smoking cessation service. Discuss the options available with your pharmacist and who might be referred for the service.
E-cigarettes
These simulate cigarette smoking and deliver nicotine. There are mixed views about their use, and none are licensed as yet, but some customers may use them to help cut down their smoking habit. By law, e-cigarettes must not be supplied to people under the age of 18. If customers ask about e-cigarettes, explain the options available and refer to the pharmacist, if required.
