I enjoyed smoking since college. It started as an adventure, but gradually, I don’t remember when it took control over me. Lately, I had such strong cravings that I would find excuses to smoke. Whether it was a happy moment, a break, or during times of depression, anxiety, or nervousness, I would turn to smoking for a quick pleasure or a quick boost. It became an unwanted compulsion that deprived me of experiencing thousands of other things in life. I often wondered what kind of joys a non-smoker would have, as I couldn’t imagine a day without smoking. I heard about Qtox, and when they assessed my smoking habit, they treated me with care and counseled me using the right approach. They made me feel that quitting was achievable, but they didn’t start my quit smoking program until I had reduced my cigarette count. Once they felt it was the right time, they prepared me mentally and physically for quitting smoking. Gradually, I realized that most of the over-the-counter products weren’t enough when I tried them. I needed the right coach to guide me through the process. My friends and well-wishers were concerned about me, but they couldn’t provide the subject matter expertise required. Thankfully, I was assigned a de-addiction coach who supported me throughout my quit smoking program. With their help, I successfully became free from addiction and transitioned to the detox stage within a few days. I could feel my lungs getting cleaner and healthier. I have also recommended this program to my friends and cousins.

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.
