Build Confidence

We know quitting is a big change. We also know that you can do it. EX has helped nearly a million other tobacco users on their quitting journey, and we're here for you, too.

As you develop your EX Plan, you'll feel confident about this change because you'll know what works for you and what doesn't.

Tobacco addiction may be common, but your experience is unique—and so are your reasons for quitting. Discover all the ways quitting smoking will improve your life.

When you're ready, set your quit date. Setting a quit date gives you time to get ready, and gives you something to work toward.

You've selected a quit date that's in the past

If you have already quit, you can use your My EX Plan page to help stay on track.

If you’ve selected ~DATE1~ by mistake, adjust it to a date in the future. We recommend somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks from today. This will give you time to prepare for your upcoming quit.

You've selected a quit date that's within the next two weeks…

Are you sure you're ready? Don’t forget that you’ll need time to re-learn life without cigarettes and prepare before the big day. To make sure you can get everything done, we recommend choosing this date 2-4 weeks from now, ~DATE1~.

If you still want to go with a Quit Date of ~DATE2~, click the button below. Otherwise, close this box and choose another date.

You've selected a quit date that's more than four weeks from now.

Are you sure you want to wait that long? If you think it’s going to take you that long to re-learn life without cigarettes and prepare for the big day, then keep it. But in general we’ve found that having a quit date that’s more than four weeks away can give you too much time to change your mind about quitting. So we recommend choosing a date 2-4 weeks from now, ~DATE1~.

If you still want to go with a Quit Date of ~DATE2~, click the button below. Otherwise, close this box and choose another date.

Imagine Your Life Without Tobacco

Quitting tobacco is more than kicking a bad habit. It's about making positive changes in your life. It's about being the person you want to be.

So, the question is, what do you want to change?

You may have ideas right now about what to change (if so, write it out in the EX Community!) but your EX Plan will help you discover new ones, too. As you make changes, you'll see new possibilities emerge. We can't wait to see where you take your future.

Here's what ex-tobacco user Robert imagined:

"It was important for me to see myself as a non-smoker, to remind myself why I wanted to quit. I focused on being able to breathe better, how much money I saved, and the extra years I would get to spend with my family because I stopped smoking."
