Would you like to quit smoking but it seems difficult to you? Don't worry: WeQuit is here to help! We tackle the physical and mental smoking addiction. The success of our approach lies in the combination of personal guidance by a specialist and quitting together with other participants. So you don't have to do it alone.
More than 23.000 smokers have already successfully quit smoking after following the WeQuit program. Our guidance makes it easier to reach the finish: to never smoke again. And the good thing is that our program will not cost you anything because all Dutch insurers reimburse our program and desired aids such as nicotine patches or lozenges.

Our program consists of 3 phases
Personal intake
We are all different. That is why an analysis of your smoking behavior is made by one of our practitioners before we choose an approach that fits your needs the best. They will also help to chose the best nictotine replacements. Our English speaking participants are always getting 1:1 guidance from a practitioner.
In six weekly online sessions, we'll help you through the most difficult first stage to quit smoking and you and your practiotioner work together on a plan to make sure you don't go back to your old smoking habits.
Because our goal is that you remain a non-smoker for life after finishing our program, you are always welcome to join our open group sessions afterwards. We will also stay in touch with you for a while: we will check regularly how you are doing and whether you need some more help.
In the Netherlands, around 23% of people over 18 smoke or vape. That's more than 3 million people in total. The majority of smokers would like to quit smoking and approximately one million smokers per year make an attempt to do so. Less than 10% succeeds without help.
Why would you quit?
- Better health - More energy and increasing stamina - Fresh looking skin that 'glows' - Less wrinkles and slower skin aging - Whiter teeth - Better scent and taste - Smoking and vaping is expensive
Quit smoking together
With our program you join the sessions online or by phone together with your practitioner. Quitting together with a practitioner is more fun but also easier than doing it alone. The specialised practitioner is very experienced and shares knowlegde, gives you insight in your behaviour, helps you to recognise difficult moments and offers solutions for those moments.

Our team consists of experienced psychologists and behavioral therapists. They guide you through the process to quit smoking in 6 weekly sessions. They help you to better understand your own behavior and thus break your routines.
We follow a well thought-out and scientifically proven effective method. The treatment team often meets to discuss experiences and findings. This is how our method gets better every day.
