About this app

Created for those who want to stop smoking for good, the NHS Quit Smoking app is a 28 day programme that puts practical support, encouragement, and tailored clinical advice in the palm of your hand.
The evidence suggests you are 5 times more likely to quit for good if you stay smoke free for 28 days, with this in mind we will help you on your own personal journey to quit.
We’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you achieve your target, picking you up if you stumble, and celebrating your successes for 28 days - and beyond!
Every week we will provide a guide broken down into manageable chunks, giving you missions to complete and timely, useful advice.

Ratings and reviews

Great app. I have quit before, and this time around, it seems to be easier, i couldn't believe how three weeks have flown by. I am now 5 days away from 28 days smoke free. It was meant to be that i should quit, and this app has helped me loads. With all the brilliant support, and encouragement, the app has a lot to keep me on the right track.

This app is great to help you through the worst first few weeks of stopping smoking with games and targets to distract and inspire. I'm on day 47 of no tobacco using patches and both the patches and the NHS app have been very helpful on this journey. I've smoked for 40 years and never thought I'd make it this far, the app is helping to keep me strong on quitting, I can see how much money I've saved every day I get through without tobacco. Highly recommended.

smoked for 46years. stopped altogether by using a vape and this app. I loved seeing the daily cycle grow and still use the app to this very day which is 2 years later! I never wanted to break the cycle so thanks to that I never had a cigarette. and kept vaping instead. vaping worked for me and still does eventhough it has its risks, its not half as harmful as all the toxins in tobacco. I'm happy 😊

What’s new
