My Change Plan helps you quit or reduce smoking cigarettes. It was developed by clinicians and researchers at the Nicotine Dependence Clinic at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). CAMH is Canada’s leading addictions and mental health treatment and research institution. The App is based on resources developed and curated by the experts at CAMH, and it has been tested with clients who were trying to quit smoking.
In the app you can create a personalized change plan, including your triggers, coping mechanisms, and your motivations for quitting or reducing smoking. You can also identify people who you can reach out to for support, and create a custom support team within the app. With the information you provide, My Change Plan tracks your progress with easy-to-use graphs and statistics. You can choose your end goals, including a quit date or a date to reduce smoking by, so that your Change Plan is in your hands!

• Complete a personalized Change Plan questionnaire
