How to quit smoking using an app?

To quit smoking using an app, Andrew Huberman recommends the Reveri app, which offers a specific form of hypnosis developed at Stanford School of Medicine by Dr. David Spiegel. This hypnosis has shown significant success in helping people quit smoking and vaping.

By using the Reveri app, users can access hypnosis scripts that are designed to mirror clinical and laboratory approaches used by Dr. Spiegel. This method can be particularly effective, even potentially achieving a success rate of 23% for smoking cessation in just one session 1.

Dr. Huberman advises that understanding nicotine's impact on the brain and body, and preparing psychologically, can significantly enhance the chances of quitting. Routine hypnosis sessions to reinforce the neural circuits involved in staying away from nicotine can also be beneficial 2.
