Further information on the SmokeFree Buddy App

The SmokeFree Buddy App provides innovative and interactive support for people who want to give up smoking. The app was developed by experts in smoking cessation and is based on scientific principles.

The SmokeFree Buddy App helps users to give up smoking with the support of a person of their own choosing. The designated “buddy” will be guided by the app on how best to motivate the smoker during their SmokeFree Challenge. There is also an option for two smokers to help each other to quit with the aid of the SmokeFree Buddy App; in this case, each of them also has a role as a supporting buddy.

The duration of the SmokeFree Challenge can be set to 10, 20 or 30 days. The would-be non-smoker can set the starting date for the challenge at any time within the next 7 days.

The app is easy to use. A dashboard guides participants step-by-step through the support process. The various options (chat, notifications, bonuses, statistics, knowledge base on quitting, etc.) facilitate successful progress.

The buddy receives tips on the best ways to support the would-be non-smoker and motivate them to persist. At the same time, the person who has given up smoking can express how they feel with an emoticon at any time and ask the buddy for help.

The contents and suggestions for support in this app are based on scientific principles. The app is part of the national SmokeFree campaign.
