A quiet, considered companion for stopping smoking, vaping or snus — built around the twenty-one days that change everything. No shouting. No streaks.
Stop smoking, vaping, and snus — without the shouting
QuitNow Smoking is a calm, considered quit smoking app for iPhone, built around the 21 days that change everything. No streaks dressed as trophies. No drill-sergeant push notifications. No 6 a.m. green checkmarks. Just an evidence-based companion for the hardest thing most people will ever do.
Whether you’re quitting cigarettes, vapes, cigars, snus, or nicotine pouches, QuitNow gives you the tools that actually work — drawn from published cessation research, not gamification playbooks.

What’s inside the app
A 9-day preparation programme
Before your quit day, walk through what’s coming. Identify your triggers, build your support network, and learn what nicotine withdrawal actually feels like — so day three doesn’t blindside you.
Eight CBT exercises drawn from cessation research
Evidence-based techniques you’ll actually use when a craving hits:
- Thought records — catch the lies your craving brain tells
- Urge surfing — observe the craving rise, peak, and pass
- Progressive relaxation — for the tension that drives the reach
- Coping cards — your emergency toolkit
- Cost-benefit analysis — for the ambivalence moments
- Trigger management plans — for the predictable danger zones
- 5-4-3-2-1 grounding — for cravings that hit out of nowhere
- Behavioural activation — for boredom, the worst trigger of all
The Today screen
A live masthead showing your day number, time smoke-free, cigarettes avoided, and money saved — plus a single thought to start the morning. No alerts. No badge counts.
The craving logger
Tap when an urge hits. Rate the intensity, name the trigger, mark whether you rode it out. The log builds quietly — useful evidence for week two.
Twelve health milestones
From “heart rate normalises in 20 minutes” through “lung cancer risk halved at 10 years” — referenced from CDC and Cochrane data. A clear track of where you are and where you’re going.
Honest pricing
The first month is genuinely free. No card required upfront, no paywall ambush on day three. After 30 days, if you’re still using the app, it’s $4.99/month or $35.99/year. A lifetime option is also available. Cancel any time in iOS Settings.
Privacy by design
Everything stays on your phone. No servers, no analytics, no email list. We don’t know you quit — and we don’t need to.
Evidence base
Exercises and health milestones reference published research from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, USPSTF guidelines, and the CDC cessation framework. QuitNow Smoking is not a substitute for medical advice — talk to your doctor about nicotine replacement therapy and prescription options. Many people who succeed use both.
Who it’s for
For smokers. For vapers. For people quitting cigars, snus, and nicotine pouches. For anyone tired of being shouted at by an app.
Day one is the hardest. So is day three. So is day seven. QuitNow is there for all of them.
