What Is Quitza?
Quitza is the worlds first social network for quitting smoking. With several thousand members - we are a non-profit project growing by the minute. Helping people quit smoking one cigarette at a time.
Studies have shown that people who use offline support groups to help them quit smoking are 30% more likely to be successful in quitting permanently. However despite this well documented advantage, for most people quitting continues to be a solitary experience. Every day people are combating nicotine withdrawal symptoms alone, and often in the dark.
We hope with the help of Quitza, this no longer has to be the case. We globally crowdsource willpower, and our members collectively encourage and support each other. With Quitzas strong community spirit, members often feel a sense of responsibility towards one another. Supportively encouraging other members to protect their own quit attempts, while getting support return.
This community support structure alone is a powerful tool. Quitza combines this with social awards, milestones, and real time personalized data about the incremental health and financial benefits our members receive by being a non smoker.
Quitza is currently available as a free web app (no download required) and the Quitza quit smoking app is in development for smart phones - both iOS and Android. We will soon be available for free on itunes and the google play store.
