Our Australian board-certified doctors are here to give you the care you and your loved ones deserve.
Smoking can significantly affect your health in the long run. It hurts your overall health, but constant inhalation of smoke and chemicals damages your respiratory system the most. With your lungs not performing as strongly as they should, your heart comes into the picture.
Continued inhalation of toxic chemicals, such as nicotine and tar, starts affecting the delicate lining around your arteries, leading to a series of complications.
Some health conditions associated with cigarette smoking include:
Respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, and damaged lining around airways.
Cardiac conditions, such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and increased risk of heart attacks.
Ulcers
Increased risk of stroke
Weakened immune system
Increased risk of cancers, such as mouth and lung cancer.
Our trusted and experienced Australian doctors can:
Create a care plan for you depending on the overall duration of smoking and current symptoms.
Provide online prescriptions or e-scripts to help with smoking cessation and withdrawal symptoms, and manage any smoking-related health issues you are dealing with.
Recommend proper use of cigarette alternatives, such as nicotine gums or patches.
Encourage you mentally to take the necessary steps to quit smoking and take charge of your health.Suggest tests to evaluate your lung function if necessary.
Offer follow-up appointments to monitor your smoking cessation progress and taper nicotine gums/patches for complete withdrawal.

The hardest day of quitting smoking is often the first few days, as your body goes through withdrawal symptoms. Many people experience cravings, irritability, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. This is because your body is adjusting to the lack of nicotine, which it has become dependent on.
There isn’t a single “best” program for everyone, but some of the most effective smoking cessation methods include behavioural therapy, nicotine replacement therapies (like gum or patches), and medications like varenicline or bupropion.
After 5 days of not smoking, your body begins to feel better as it continues to heal. Nicotine has mostly cleared out of your system, and many people notice improvements in their breathing, increased energy, and better taste and smell.
Smoking is responsible for several serious diseases, affecting many parts of the body. These include respiratory conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, and lung cancer. It also increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.
