About

Dr Carolyn Beaumont, General practitioner

RACGP, MD, DipChildHealth, BMedSci(Dist), BMus(Hons), GradDipEd

  • Dr Carolyn Beaumont is a general practitioner with Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. 
  • Carolyn is a strong advocate for healthier alternatives to smoking. She has helped many Australian ex-smokers remain smoke free. This service began in 2020, as she developed more awareness and understanding of the plight of chronic smokers – those who desperately want to stop smoking and have tried many options without success.
  • Please note: This service is not available for anyone under 18. However she is more than happy to discuss other smoking cessation options for this age group.

FAQ

  • Nicotine addiction can develop quickly and persistently.
  • In my experience as a doctor, I have found the following: it is almost never simply a lack of ‘willpower’ that prevents you from stopping smoking. The power of nicotine addiction is unfortunately much stronger than even the greatest willpower. There will always be those fortunate people who, despite much exposure to nicotine via smoking, are able to successfully and persistently give up smoking without great difficulty. But sadly, there are many many more who have the best of intentions, and the strongest desire to stop smoking, but find the physical and mental effects of nicotine withdrawal simply devastating. It is for these people that this service may assist.

There is no long-term data on the safety of vaping (with or without nicotine). A substantial and growing body of evidence regarding smoking cessation options can be accessed here, which gives a balanced view of the role of vaping for smoking cessation:

Anyone under 18 is not eligible for this service, regardless of circumstances. The Australian legislative position is absolutely clear on this – Vaping (with or without nicotine) is UNSAFE for young people to experiment with. There are valid concerns that vaping when young may lead to smoking. However, I am happy to discuss other smoking cessation strategies with anyone under 18. And please, make sure to explore what QUIT.org.au can offer you.

  • In Australia, vaping (with or without nicotine) is not recommended as first-line therapy for smoking cessation.
