Does any of this feel familiar?

Nicotine dependence can make quitting difficult. Cravings and withdrawal are part of it. Previous attempts can shape your next plan.

Smoking or vaping is part of your routine.

You associate it with breaks, the journey home or particular times of day.

Stress makes quitting harder.

You plan to stop, but a difficult day brings cravings back.

You’ve tried quitting before.

Share what helped and what made it difficult. Your clinician can use that to shape your plan.

You’re unsure how to ask for help.

You can describe your smoking or vaping and where you’d like to start.

These experiences can have different explanations. You can ask for help even if only some feel familiar.

Common questions

Can I ask for help with vaping?

Yes. Tell us what you use and how often. Your clinician will discuss support that fits.

Will I be prescribed something?

Your clinician discusses the options with you. Medication helps some people; nicotine replacement or other support suits others.

What if I need more support?

Your clinician can recommend further care. Any additional review is included in the same review, at no extra charge.

How does delivery work?

Pick up at the partner pharmacy, or have a courier bring it. A courier needs someone 18 or older to sign at the door. There is no advance waiver.

Who delivers?

Where the pharmacy has its own driver, it delivers in that area. Canada Post is not used for controlled medications.

Can I pick the day?

You choose the delivery day. We remind you the evening before.

How fast do you reply?

Within the window shown on your request: up to 2 business days for a clinical review, 1 business day for a question, 3 business days for delivery or funding. Not around the clock.

Is it covered by OHIP?

Avora fees are paid privately, not covered by OHIP. Your workplace or private plan may reimburse part of it.
