Battal Smoking Cessation App The biggest reason people can’t quit smoking for good? They believe it takes willpower. But what if you found a way to quit for good effortlessly, permanently and without a sense of loss or a feeling of missing smoking? Enter Battal Smoking Cessation app, the first app designed for the Arab world using proven science to help you quit smoking. First of all, you will not be asked to quit smoking during the program. You will first understand how smoking works and then at the end you will quit easily and without the need for willpower. Battal’s success is rooted in its approach– with Battal, you aren’t required to hold yourself back from smoking; rather, over the course of days, you arrive at the conclusion that you don’t really want to nor are interested to smoke anymore. How? Battal uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a well-known and well-tested method that helps smokers undo the smoking myths that have them enslaved to smoking, freeing them of any need or want to smoke– by simply seeing and experiencing smoking for what it is, smokers arrive to one conclusion: I don’t have to quit smoking because I really do not want to smoke now, so I will just stop. And if it sounds too good to be true, it’s worth giving it a try: There’s nothing to lose…And it costs less than a week’s worth of cigarettes. Over the course of 11 steps, you will be guided on a journey that: ● Addresses the reasons you think you smoke ● Reveals the real reasons you actually smoke ● Tackles the fears you have about quitting smoking ● Replacing those fears one by one with one empowering truth… You can stop smoking any time you want to, because you don’t want to smoke anymore. Battal works for all types of smoking devices– from cigarettes, Iqos, vapes to shisha. The program is split into 11 simple steps, which you can finish in 1-2 days, followed by a post-quit guide to navigate your new life as a non-smoker. There’s also a Battal community group full of ex-smokers to give some insights and advice as you go through the program. You can ask questions, share your milestones & find a lot of inspiring support 24/7. The best part? If you’ve tried to quit dozens of times before. THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST. Because the hardest part of quitting is never starting smoking again. With Battal, that’s no longer a problem!
