Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2025
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using QuitSmokeApp. By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the site.
Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of QuitSmokeApp (the "Service"), operated by the QuitSmokeApp team ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), that you have read and understood these Terms, and that you agree to be bound by them.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Service following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
Medical Disclaimer
THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON QUITSMOKEAPP IS FOR GENERAL EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT INTENDED AS MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.
QuitSmokeApp is not a medical service. We are not doctors, nurses, pharmacists, or any other kind of healthcare professional. Nothing on this website should be construed as the practice of medicine or the provision of medical advice.
Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified health provider before beginning any smoking cessation programme, particularly if you have pre-existing medical conditions. If you experience severe withdrawal symptoms, chest pain, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
Nicotine replacement therapy, prescription medications (such as varenicline and bupropion), and behavioural support programmes have been shown in clinical trials to significantly improve quit success rates. We strongly encourage you to speak with a qualified healthcare professional about the quit smoking support options available to you.
Accuracy of Calculations and Information
The calculations provided by QuitSmokeApp - including money saved, cigarettes not smoked, life regained, and health milestone timelines - are estimates based on population-level averages and the data you provide. They are intended to be motivational and informative, not clinically precise.
Specifically:
- The "life regained" calculation is based on the widely cited estimate that each cigarette reduces life expectancy by approximately 11 minutes. This is an average derived from epidemiological data; your individual result will vary.
- Health milestone timelines represent typical population-level recovery trajectories based on published research from WHO, NHS, CDC, and ACS. Individual health recovery timelines will vary based on smoking history, overall health, age, and other factors.
- Money saved calculations are based on the pack price and cigarette consumption data you enter. Actual savings will depend on real-world pricing, purchasing patterns, and any spending on smoking cessation aids.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the health information published on QuitSmokeApp, and we source all health claims from recognised medical authorities. However, medical knowledge evolves, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current, complete, or error-free. If you identify an inaccuracy, please contact us.
