Further information on the SmokeFree Buddy App
The SmokeFree Buddy App allows users to give up smoking with the support of a person of their own choosing. The designated “buddy” will be instructed by the app on how best to motivate the user for their SmokeFree Challenge. There is also an option for two smokers to quit jointly with the help of the SmokeFree Buddy App; in that case, both of them also have the role of supporting buddy.
The duration of the SmokeFree Challenge can be predetermined (10, 20 or 30 days). The person who wants to give up smoking can set the start date for the challenge to within the next 7 days.
The app is easy to use. A dashboard provides participants with a step-by-step guide through the support process. The various options (chat, notifications, bonus, statistics, knowledge base on the topic of smoking cessation, etc.) make successful progress achievable.
The buddy receives tips on the best ways to support and motivate the person who wants to quit. At the same time, the person who has given up smoking can express their state of mind with an emoticon at any time and ask the buddy for help.
The contents and support suggestions in this app are based on scientific principles. The app is part of the national SmokeFree campaign.
