Quitting is hard. Doing it alone is harder.

Most quit attempts fail not from lack of willpower but from lack of support in the moment a craving hits. BreatheWell is built around exactly that moment — structured, evidence-based, and there when you need it, without judgement if a lapse happens along the way.

How BreatheWell works

A real dependence assessment, a structured weekly programme, and a GP review whenever it's actually needed.

Assessment

A validated dependence score (the Fagerström Test) and a quit-date plan — plus a check for anything that means this needs to be GP-led from day one.

Structured programme

An NCSCT-aligned weekly curriculum — craving/urge management, trigger planning, relapse prevention — not open-ended chat.

Support in the moment

Bounded check-ins between modules, there when a craving or a lapse happens — never medicine names, never doses, never crisis counselling by the AI.

A GP review when it matters

Certain medication interactions and higher-dependence profiles are routed straight to a GP — never guessed at, never left to chance.

The one check that matters most, explained plainly

Stopping smoking changes how your body processes some psychiatric medicines — including clozapine and olanzapine. BreatheWell checks for this before anything else.

What BreatheWell will do

  • Check for a real medication interaction before you self-serve
  • Route pregnancy straight to a GP-led pathway, not self-serve
  • Screen for low mood at every check-in and escalate immediately if needed
  • Suggest combination therapy under a GP for heavier, harder-to-shift dependence

What it won't do

  • Name a specific NRT product, brand, or dose
  • Continue a self-serve programme once a risk signal is flagged
  • Attempt to counsel a crisis itself — it always hands over to a person

In crisis right now? Call 999, or Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24/7).

Evidence you can trust

Built on the NICE guidance for tobacco dependence and the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training (NCSCT) behavioural-support model.

Everything you need to know

Will you tell me which NRT product or vape to use?
No. BreatheWell never names a specific medicine, brand, or dose — it will say that NRT, varenicline or nicotine vaping are recognised quit aids and suggest you ask your GP or pharmacist which is right for you, but the choice and prescription are always theirs to make, not the app's.
What if I have a lapse?
A lapse doesn't end your programme. BreatheWell's weekly check-ins are built around relapse prevention, not blame — a reported lapse gets a supportive, non-judgemental response and a plan for what's next, never shaming language.
I'm on medication for my mental health — is this safe for me?
Stopping smoking can change how your body processes certain psychiatric medicines (including clozapine and olanzapine), so BreatheWell asks about this at the start — if it applies to you, you're routed to a GP review before starting a self-serve quit programme, rather than being left to find that out the hard way.
