Quit smoking or vaping without willpower. But don't stop yet, just listen. Short audio sessions and practices change how you see nicotine, while you keep smoking or vaping. Free until you quit. No card needed. WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT If you've tried to quit before, you already know willpower runs out. That isn't your fault. It's just how nicotine works. Quit Guru doesn't ask you to stop on day one. You press play, keep smoking or vaping as usual, and let the program take apart the reasons you reach for nicotine. When you feel ready, you stop. Not because you have to, but because you want to. HOW IT WORKS 1. Listen. One audio session at a time, about 10 to 15 minutes. In the car, on a walk, in bed. 2. Keep smoking or vaping. Really. No countdown, no guilt, no cutting down. 3. Quit when you feel ready, no longer fearing life without nicotine. 4. Beat any cravings or challenges with the Stay Nicotine-Free program. FREE UNTIL YOU QUIT • The complete quit program, including all sessions and practices • Weight gain prevention audio guide • Personal program insights based on your progress • Progress tracker: time free, money saved, milestones • Day-by-day insights into how your body recovers • Quick daily check-ins to see what hurts and helps your recovery BUILT FOR THE PART WHERE MOST METHODS FAIL Quitting is one day. Staying quit is the rest of your life. Stay Nicotine-Free is the membership for everything after your last cigarette or vape: • Personalized sessions and program insights, covering all aspects of your nicotine-free life • Instant help for cravings and challenging situations • Guided breathing, mindfulness and visualization practices • A community of helpful members at every stage of quitting • Slipped? Pick up where you are. No shame, no starting from zero FOR CIGARETTES, VAPES AND POUCHES Smoke, vape, pouches, dip. The program works no matter how you use nicotine, because the trap is the same one. PRIVATE AND CALM No lectures and no health scares. Reminders never mention smoking on your lock screen. Downloaded audio, program insights and your tracker work offline. STAY QUIT MEMBERSHIP The quit program is free. The Stay Nicotine-Free program is optional and starts after you quit. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Quit Guru does not provide medical advice and does not replace care from a health professional.
