The QuitGuide is a free application developed by MMG, Inc., for the
Tobacco Control Research Branch of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Written
by tobacco control professionals and cessation counselors, with the help of
ex-smokers and experts, this app is designed to help you prepare to quit
smoking and support you in the days and weeks after you quit.
The app allows you to search for content using keywords, save specific
pages as favorites, and share information you are reading via Facebook,
Twitter, and e-mail. It also provides insight into what to expect when you quit,
and how to deal with problems that may come up in your journey to be smokefree.
Being prepared, having information at the ready, and staying connected to
a larger online community can help get you through the hard times.
