Innovative HealthTech,
for revolutionary ways in the treatment of addictions.
We start with tobacco dependence …
… and serve an exceedingly large and uncovered need!
The target group
The uncovered need in tobacco cessation
About 60% want to start by smoking less cigarettes
= A gentle initiation into quitting!
Currently, there is a lack of a digital, therapeutic reduction solution that is practical for everyday use.
It needs to specifically prepare body and mind for quitting smoking, meaning it must reactivate the ability to abstain and effectively motivate towards cessation.
- About 10% attempt an immediate cessation each year or try switching to alternative products. Despite numerous support offers (nicotine replacement therapy, courses, hypnosis, acupuncture and much more), there are very high relapse rates.
- About 30% do not wish to change their smoking behaviour
CiQuit – First ‚less‘ smoking as a bridge to an abstinence-oriented application!

The Patented Innovation
The Scientific Background
Smoking manifests itself in regions of the brain to which free will has no access.
The process of smoking must therefore be shifted to brain regions that allow reconditioning. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Proof-of-Principle Study
The proof-of-principle study impressively demonstrated that all indicators of the inability to abstain were significantly improved after just 8 weeks of use. The detailed results are summarised here.

The Patent
The EU patent was granted in November 2023, as well as in India and the Eurasian Union. In the USA, China and other countries with large populations and high smoking rates, patents are under review or close to being granted.
Our B2B Cooperation Partners
Cooperations with Companies
CiQuit opens up a new way to drastically increase the motivation of the smoking workforce on two factors:
1. to change smoking behaviour and 2. to seek help in quitting smoking. x xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
Cooperations with Health Insurance Funds
The extremely low uptake of smoking cessation courses highlights the need for new strategies and offerings in tobacco cessation. CiQuit presents a compelling solution for all parties involved.
Cooperations with Pharma-Companies
Smoking reduces the effectiveness of medical interventions. CiQuit opens up new sales potential worldwide through the accompanying CiQuit application in various therapies of the individual pharmaceutical companies.
Tobacco Cessation – A Global Challenge
The Crowded Market - Quit Smoking “Now"!
Only a few smokers are willing to quit, despite many offers of help. At the same time, existing smoking cessation offers have relatively high relapse rates. Switching to substitutes is neither easy nor desirable.
The Healthcare Gap - Smoke „Less" First!
Many smokers wish to reduce their consumption before quitting completely. To date, there is no suitable support available that adequately prepares both body and mind for abstinence.
Smoking - A Global Overview
Tobacco consumption is the leading preventable cause of premature mortality worldwide. Additionally, the production and consumption of tobacco products cause immense environmental damage.
Statements from the pilot study
Rainer W.
„So, I’m very enthusiastic, I’m on day 30 and I can only say one thing: simply great.“
Astrid P.
„The Box has made me realise how often I was reaching for a cigarette without thinking. Now I think before every cigarette whether I really want it and how many I have left to reach my own daily goal.“
Constanze K.
„The handling is simple. The Box remembers your smoking behaviour pretty quickly and I have to say, I have to smile every time the access time is increased. Habit becomes mindfulness!“
Stefan F.
Nils O.
„Using the Box is currently helping me a lot to become aware of smoking. I’ve often said to myself in the past: I really must stop smoking or at least cut down! From tomorrow…. And the next day you’re in the habit and it takes a long time to remember (if at all). The Box makes me remember before every cigarette.“
Nicole B.
„Thanks to the Box, I’ve been smoke-free for a week. I’ve finally managed to quit. Thank you very much.“
