I have been smoking for the past 12 years, with an average of 10-12 cigarettes per day. The number would often increase when I traveled with friends or alone. My wife, as well as my parents, never liked my smoking habit. My kids would frequently urge me to quit smoking. I understood their concern, but quitting was extremely challenging for me. I resorted to discreet smoking, which made me feel guilty. I was trapped in this vicious cycle. While I enjoyed smoking, I didn’t enjoy the need to hide it. My wife recommended the Qtox program to me, as I couldn’t continue with the secrecy of smoking. It felt like a betrayal to my family, and I disliked that aspect of myself. I love my family deeply. The Qtox team was very approachable, and their perspective was realistic and constructive. They were solution-oriented. My deaddiction coach worked closely with me, assisting in strengthening my determination and guiding me through every small stage of my quit smoking journey. They helped me overcome all the hurdles along the way. I must say, I haven’t come across any brand in India that offers such exclusive support. Their Quit Smoking Kit is inspiring and impressive. When I first opened the kit, I felt a surge of confidence. Since then, my determination has only grown stronger, and I have learned to explore other sources of happiness beyond cigarettes.

According to WHO, more than 8 Million people die prematurely from tobacco use. As per our recent internal survey, 80% of the people really want to quit smoking, but they couldn’t do it alone. Many of them have tried multiple times but they’ve been facing multiple issues from craving to withdrawal symptoms. According to National Institute of Health (NIH) and America’s leading non-profit organization Truth Initiative, only 7 percent of smokers was able to quit smoking “cold turkey” (only with will power). Intensive advice from health professional increases the chance of quitting by 84%. Studies shows with proper use of FDA approved medication, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and Contingency management (CM) tool can provide up to 95% quit rate. With Qtox’s holistic approach, you will receive all of these with great support and motivation.
