Cold turkey works for almost no one. Stepdown gets you off nicotine by stepping down; small, scheduled reductions your body barely notices, until one day the number is zero. Works for vapes, nicotine pouches, cigarettes, nicotine gum, lozenges, heated tobacco and snus. Answer a few questions and see, free: your Nic Score (how tight a grip nicotine actually has on your day), your personal staircase, and your projected quit date. YOUR STAIRCASE - A plan of small steps; each one holds your daily limit slightly lower while your body adjusts - One-tap logging for every pouch, puff, pod or cigarette - An AI coach that knows your exact plan and answers at 2am - A panic button for cravings; most pass in about three minutes - Danger-window alerts that fire before your risky hours, not after - Step briefings, daily debriefs, and body-recovery milestones - A savings jar showing the money you keep instead of burn WHY STEPPING DOWN WORKS Quitting all at once means peak withdrawal, peak irritability, and peak chance of a bad day that convinces you that you can't do it. Stepping down spreads that cost across weeks, so no single day has to be the day you quit quitting. WENT OVER? KEEP GOING Go over your limit and nothing resets. The staircase adjusts astreak to break and no starting over. FREE Your Nic Score, staircase preview, and quit date. A subscription is required for the full plan, coach, and tracking. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Stepdown is a habit app, not a medical service. It does not prnosis, or treatment. If you have a medical concern, talk to ahealthcare provider.
