Quit smoking
Practical, doctor-led support to help you reduce or stop smoking, on your terms.
Quitting smoking isn't just about willpower.
Nicotine dependence is both physical and behavioural, and for many people, stopping takes more than one attempt.
Candor connects you with Australian-registered doctors who can assess your smoking history, understand your goals, and discuss appropriate medical options that may support your quit plan. No lectures. No pressure. Just a structured, clinical conversation about what might work for you.

Getting support to quit smoking with Candor is simple and fully online. Start by completing a short intake form, which is reviewed by our clinical team.
Within 24 hours you’ll receive a call from an Australian-registered prescriber to discuss your health and treatment options via telehealth. If clinically appropriate, the prescriber may provide a treatment plan, which will be available through your secure patient platform to manage.

FAQs
This service is intended for adults 18+ who currently smoke cigarettes or have a nicotine dependence and are seeking medical support to stop, manage or reduce use.
Start by completing the online intake form and making payment. Your information will then be reviewed and an Australian-registered doctor will call you within 24 hours to conduct your consultation (excluding weekends and public holidays).
As this is a callback service, there’s no need to book a time, please keep your phone nearby and ensure you’re able to receive the call.
No. This service operates as a callback queue rather than a fixed appointment booking. A prescriber will call you within 24 hours of submitting your intake and payment (excludes weekends and public holidays).
Your doctor will attempt to call you up to three times during your consultation window. Your consultation is delivered via phone call, so please keep your phone nearby and available during this time.
If a call is missed, you’ll move to the back of the queue for another attempt.
If we’re unable to reach you after these attempts, your consultation will be cancelled and you’ll need to book a new consultation window.
Payment is taken upfront when you submit your intake form. The consultation fee covers the clinical review of your intake form and your telehealth consultation with an Australian-registered prescriber. Medication costs are separate, as treatment plans are at the prescriber's clinical discretion and are not guaranteed.
Your doctor can discuss how different approaches may fit together based on your individual circumstances.
Nicotine dependence is a condition where your body and brain become used to regular nicotine exposure. Over time, this can lead to cravings and withdrawal symptoms when nicotine levels drop, making it difficult to stop smoking without support.
A quit plan is a structured approach to reducing or stopping smoking. It may include setting a quit date, identifying triggers, planning strategies for cravings and, where appropriate, discussing medical treatment options for harm reduction with a doctor.
Triggers are situations, emotions or routines that prompt the urge to smoke, such as stress, coffee breaks or social settings. Identifying triggers can help you prepare practical strategies to manage them.
Yes. A consultation can help you understand your level of nicotine dependence and explore options, even if you’re still deciding on your next steps.
Common withdrawal symptoms can include irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, increased appetite, low mood and strong cravings. Symptoms vary between individuals and are usually most noticeable in the first few weeks after reducing or stopping smoking.
