You want to begin a tobacco-free life but you need motivation and support? Join the Stoptober adventure and do not hesitate to download the Kwit app to help you during this challenge and even after!
Stoptober is an annual campaign launched by the British Government and the National Health Service in 2012. Its main purpose is to help smokers to stop tobacco to begin a new smoke-free life. Since the first edition, it has encouraged close to 1.5 million people to try to stop smoking.
Having better health is one of the reasons for quitting smoking. It is also a public health issue which concerns every smoker and even non-smokers alike such as your family and children. It is why the British Government launched this campaign in association with the National Health Service.
The main idea of this campaign is that if you can quit smoking for 28 days, you can quit for good. Stoptober is based on the principle that if you can stop for 28 days, you have 5 times more chances to stop smoking for good.
The other big principle of Stoptober is to face this step together. It is known that the hardest period in smoking cessation is the first month. Stopping is complicated. Smokers may try to quit several times, but if they are not encouraged, they are more likely to crack. As "alone, we go faster; together, we go further", the purpose of Stoptober is to support each other in this process. By the way, if you want more help and support during your smoking cessation, feel free to join the Kwitter Group on Facebook!

Now you should start to prepare yourself because you will need support during your cessation. The Kwit app is here to reach your new tobacco-free life!
Based on gamification, Kwit helps you during your smoking cessation in a positive and benevolent way. By using scientifically validated methods of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Kwit supports you to reach the smoke-free life of your dreams.
When you use Kwit, you feel like you are playing a game: you unlock levels, achievements, etc. The difference between Kwit and a random game is those achievements are about you and not about a fictional character. With Kwit, you become the hero of your life, and your mission, if you accept it, is to say goodbye to smoking for good.
Positive reinforcement promoted by Kwit will help you raise your self-esteem in this difficult period. The app also keeps track of all your cravings, so that you can better understand them and find ways to face it. By the way, you will never be criticized for bad behaviours, because it happens to everyone. On the contrary, the goal of Kwit is to motivate you throughout your smoking cessation, to congratulate and support you in difficult times!
