    How EX Program works

    You'll get free, 24/7 support through daily text messages full of tips and advice, a resource library with expert guidance, and access to an active community of quitters.

    In order to quit smoking, vaping, or using tobacco, you need to break behavior patterns and a physical addiction. EX Program helps you identify triggers, cope with cravings, and replace old routines with new, healthier ones. It may not be easy, but we have the advice of experts and experienced quitters to guide you.

    Support is proven to help you quit, whether it’s from a trusted friend, a family member, or a group of other quitters. Community support is a key part of EX Program. It’s free, anonymous, 24/7 support (and a safe space to just lurk and learn). EX Community members can answer your questions about quitting, cheer you on, or support you through tough moments.

    Medication can double your chances of quitting, and can make quitting more comfortable. You’ll learn about your options and make the best choice for you. If you choose to use Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), you’ll get information on how to use it correctly for the best results. EX Program does not provide medication, but we have suggestions for how to get it for free or at a low cost.

    EX Program is developed by Truth Initiative in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center. Truth Initiative is America’s largest nonprofit public health organization dedicated to creating a future free from lifelong addiction, fostering healthier lives and a more resilient nation with the mission to prevent youth and young adult nicotine addiction and empower quitting for all. Mayo Clinic is the world’s largest integrated, not-for-profit medical group practice. The Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center provides top-quality, evidence-based care for tobacco and nicotine dependence. 

    EX Program helps you even before you decide to quit.

    Only you can decide when it’s time to quit. But we can help you consider why you want to quit and guide you through making a plan to start.
