Qualmfrei: Quit Smoking

Understand what smoking does to the body — and keep going, one day at a time. Qualmfrei combines 430 articles with a tracker, daily goals and a 40-day programme — completely free.

THE 40-DAY PROGRAMME
• For 40 days, the programme suggests one article each day — in the order the questions come up when you quit
• Read all 40 programme articles and check in on at least 30 of those 40 days — smoke-free or slip — and you earn the "Programme completed" badge
• All articles are free to read at any time

430 ARTICLES — YOUR BODY, CLEARLY EXPLAINED
• The lungs, part by part: from the cilia to the alveoli
• Every organ affected: heart, blood vessels, brain, skin, teeth, hormones, immune system and more
• 92 toxins in tobacco smoke explained one by one — each with origin, effect, official substance classification and source
• Combined effects: why the mixture is more than the sum of its parts
• The recovery timeline: what typically changes after 20 minutes, 48 hours, 9 months and 15 years
• Addiction psychology, withdrawal symptoms, everyday strategies, myths fact-checked
• Every article cites its sources (WHO, DKFZ, BZgA, Cochrane, US Surgeon General and others) and has its own cover image

THE FACTS ON QUIT AIDS
• What the 2023 Cochrane overview, the German S3 guideline and the 2024 WHO guideline say about nicotine replacement, prescription support and counselling — in numbers, with sources
• What German statutory health insurance has covered since 2025
• Reported, not recommended: no product recommendation, no dosage — the choice belongs with your doctor or pharmacist

YOUR TRACKER
• Smoke-free days, money saved and cigarettes avoided at a glance — with a savings chart and a milestone timeline
• A daily check-in — and a fair way of handling slips: your progress is never lost
• Badges for streaks and articles read

A NEW GOAL EVERY DAY
• Every smoke-free day unlocks a new daily goal — 365 small steps, from day one to a smoke-free year

REMINDERS (OPTIONAL)
• A daily nudge to check in and read your programme article, plus a note when you reach a milestone — scheduled locally on your device, switch off any time

LANGUAGES
• All 430 articles and all 365 daily goals are available in full in Deutsch, English, 简体中文, Bahasa Indonesia, Türkçe, العربية, Русский, Español, Français, Português (Brasil), Italiano
• The interface is translated into 32 languages — from Spanish, Chinese and Arabic to Bulgarian, Serbian, Romanian, Greek, Hungarian, Polish and Ukrainian
• In the remaining languages, articles are currently shown in English; the app says so in the library. More translations are on the way

YOUR DATA IS YOURS
• The app works offline: no accounts, no third-party ads, no tracking
• Your entries stay on your device
