## What is Craving To Quit!?

Ready to quit smoking, vaping, or tobacco? Craving to Quit® is a clinically proven tobacco cessation program that helps you break free from nicotine addiction and take back your health. 

Through guided video lessons, mindfulness practices, chat-based coaching, and progress tracking, you’ll learn step by step how to reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, and finally quit tobacco for good. Whether your goal is to stop smoking cigarettes, quit vaping, or give up smokeless tobacco (dip, chew), Craving to Quit gives you the tools and support to succeed. 

Craving to Quit is based on a smoking cessation program developed and tested at Yale University. In clinical trials, this approach proved twice as effective as the gold standard treatment.

### 5/5 — Only way I could quit!

*2026-04-10*

This App changed my life. No joke, no over exaggeration. I smoked for 15 years and I tried everything from patches, to cold turkey, to Chantix. This was the only thing that worked. I haven’t smoked now for 7.5 years and I have this app to thank! If you truly want to quit, this is the best money you’ll ever spend.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your review! It’s wonderful to hear how the Quit Right Now Program worked for you! Keep up the great work!

### 1/5 — Waste of Time

*2026-02-20*

I don’t know why AEP forces employees to do this by financially punishing smokers when they are not doing the same with their alcoholic employees, Hell, they will even buy their employees 2 free drinks on a expense allowance. But, what do I know…

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review the Craving To Quit Program and for your feedback!  Any improvement suggestions will be passed on to our internal teams for consideration. Stay tuned for future releases.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-08-22, version 6.23.0*

5 starts is not enough! I have been using the app for over 3 weeks. If you trust the process you will mind blown by now with what these simple exercises do to you. Smoking or any addiction pull you away from who you truly are, these exercises bring you back to yourself and teach you about how us humans work. Love it! I am very grateful 🙏

Minor Recommendations for improvement for the production: 
1. Each exercise starts with a few secs background music. I really find the song disturbing, reminds me of a weird circus, clowns 🙊Better switch to something more ‘wellness’ like
2. The background of the video is white but looks a bit too sterile. Hospital like

### 5/5 — I feel helpless

*2024-06-14*

My smoking is extremely habitual

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your review! It’s wonderful to see 5 star reviews! The Craving to Quit Team is rooting for you!

### 2/5 — Stuck on Quit Ceremony

*2023-12-17*

Finally make it to the last lesson and it's stuck. I've replayed lesson 21 (quit ceremony) numerous times and it won't let me progress any further. Any suggestions?

### 5/5 — Best and most considered quit smoking app

*2023-04-10*

This app has strengthened the deepest part of my mind to make different decisions without struggling.  
This has been the most effective app for me after many attempts, and I have tried many things.
It is not ‘easy’ in the sense that you need to give it your attention, but quitting smoking is also not ‘easy’… there is no quick fix.

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2023-02-19, version 6.9.0*

I found this to be the only thing that helped me to quit smoking and stay quit. Fascinating how the app teaches you about how the mind works. I am shocked it’s not more well known.

### 5/5 — Super helpful mindfulness

*2021-03-13*

Don’t do as I did and pick a quit day before you start this program. You learn to smoke mindfully before you actually quit. It gives you all sorts of tricks to do with your mind to recognize triggers, ride out cravings, and even a thing to do with your hands to keep them busy. Great way to quit smoking mindfully!

### 5/5 — It’s working

*2021-02-01*

This is a program I can stick with, it is really helping me view smoking in a different way. So many exercises to retrain my brain. I’ve seen lots of reviews objecting to the cost, but in reality the cost is what I would’ve spent in just two days on cigarettes. I highly recommend to anyone who is ready to make this significant and healthy lifestyle change!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Yay to retraining the brain and healthy lifestyle change👍.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-01-10*

I am so grateful for this app, I’m not quite sure how to express it. I chewed a can of Copenhagen a day for the last 22 years and thought I might not ever be able to quit. I spent 6 months with this app before I picked a quit date and when the time came, I was ready to let go. It felt good to let go and I wanted to let go. I am chewing tobacco free today and feel like a new man
You can use these practices for any gripping substance or bad habit you have in your life, this is not limited to smoking cigarettes. The world would be a better place if everyone used this app

**Developer response:** We are happy to hear about your quit🙏. Thank you for sharing your journey.
