Best quitting smoking app? I'm quitting today!

Hello! I've been a smoker for several years, always enjoyed it and all of my friends are smokers (which will make it harder as it's such a big factor when socialising!) but I woke up this morning and thought hmm.... I don't want to smoke any more. I am trying to save money and also don't want to be tied to constantly popping for a cigarette regardless of how much I enjoy it! The first one of the day with a coffee and the post-meal cigarettes will be the hardest but I'm done!

I have one cigarette left and then i'm going to try cold turkey! I've been looking through apps to track and keep me accountable, but does anyone have a good suggestion for the best free one to use?

I've stopped twice - first time using patches and stayed off for a decade. Second time hypnotherapy which was much easier but will only work if you want to quit rather than quitting under pressure. I 100%thought it had not worked but have not had a single puff since 2009. Best £80 I have ever spent. Also went to the wrong hypnotherapist by mistake (not the one recommended). Amazing!!

I realise neither of these are apps!

You could try the smokefree app, free to use but has paid for advanced options if you need extra help. Seen it recommended by the NCSCT, UK smoking cessation mob funded by PHE.
Look for the green heart logo.

Not an app, but I can really recommend the quick mist spray for really strong cravings - I didnt use it every time I had a craving, only ever bought 2 and weaned slowly off it.
Good luck!
