Smoke Free - Quit Smoking Now

I’m using the app in conjunction with a medication, bupropion, and trying to busy my hands and positive tastes with peppermint sticks, as well as listening to the audio book “Allen Carr’s The Easy Way to Quit Smoking”. I’m really enjoying the app, but I will say it was impossible for me to quit with just the app alone. I’m still getting a ton of cravings, but the app is helping me see how much positive progress I’m making. Before, I was chain smoking, and I never before thought I’d get this far. I’m using a ton of tactics at once, but I think the biggest part you need to understand is in the book. The instructions are 1- stop smoking NOW. Recognize how much nicotine is keeping you enslaved and vow to stop being a slave to that nicotine. 2- be happy about it. Don’t mope that you can’t have another, but rejoice in knowing you can have your life back! The second part is why I have failed so many times in the past. I used to worry about being able or not to keep off cigarettes, but now, it’s only been 4 days and 13 hours, but I KNOW NOW that no matter what, not one more cigarette will be poisoning my body, and I’m very happy about it 😁 this app is very good about staying positive with the newfound freedom from nicotine 🥰 thank you

I’m 36, and I’ve been a smoker for about 24 years. I’ve quit a few times in my life, no longer than a few months at a time, and I’ve always picked it back up. I quit May 4th, 2020, I lasted 3 days and started again, I smoked for a week and a half more. Now, I’m approximately 17 hours away from one week smoke free. Yay! I feel great. Now, here’s where the app has helped me. I’m still in the free period, but I’m definitely paying to keep the service. This week I’ve been tempted twice to have “just one”. I kept telling myself that I’d just have one cigarette when I got there, and that would be it, I’d be ok.... on my way to my first outing, as I was driving there telling myself that crap above, I remember that this app said, somewhere I read you just have to commit to never having one again, you have to just tell you’re self that... and I did when those thoughts came in... and I didn’t have one! Then my friend came over one night, she’s a heavy smoker, we always smoke together, I told her that I’d unlock the door so she could just come in, so I didn’t have to meet her outside with smoke, and she did, and it went great, and I’m proud to say that I’m a non-smoker!!! I’ll NEVER have a cigarette again. Thank you to the app for the help, the mental help was exactly what I needed, and every time i say I’ll never smoke again, it feels really good, and ok to be done with that chapter. Good luck guys. YOU CAN QUIT TOO!

Every single smoking app I download always has you begin with “when did you stop smoking.” I want to stop smoking but haven’t yet. It doesn’t seem that any of the developers of these apps consider that perhaps some of the people downloading their app haven’t quit yet and are trying to. You could argue that if you haven’t made the choice to quit yet yourself then there’s nothing an app can help with, but I’d disagree. However, we may never know because the area is largely uninhabited be developers. The app however is great if you’ve already quit and are seeking assistance with not relapsing. It’s probably one of the best, however little things tend to stick out with me in apps and I’d noticed that the first thing this app does when you open it is try to get you to buy the premium version. The elaborately hid the “continue with basic features” button, requiring you to swipe the screen down with no indication that doing so would actually reveal anything. For a moment I actually thought that the app was listed as free in the App Store but hidden behind a pay wall in-app... I truly believe that the developers should get paid for their work, especially if they helped you stay smoke free, but I wanted to point out this sneaky tactic because like I previously mentioned these things tend to be red flags for me. I know I didn’t offer much of what most people will care about when taking a look through this apps reviews, but it’s my two cents. I hope someone will feel a little more informed after reading about my interpretations thus far.
