New App Available to Help Rhode Island Adults Quit Smoking and Vaping
Published on Monday, October 05, 2026
The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) and QuitNowRI are now offering the QuitLogix® app to Rhode Island adults looking for support quitting tobacco and nicotine products.
The app is free, available in English and Spanish, and can be downloaded in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. It is available for Rhode Islanders age 18 and older.
“This app puts resources for quitting tobacco and nicotine right at people’s fingertips,” said Director of Health Jerry Larkin, MD. “If you smoke or vape, quitting may be one of the most important health decisions you ever make.”
The app, released this month, offers the same core features available to QuitNowRI participants enrolled in the web program, including guidance on building a quit plan and rewards for achieving quit milestones.
Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death and disease nationally and statewide. In Rhode Island, about 1 in 10 adults smoke, and about 1 in 15 use e-cigarettes. People who combine coaching with treatment in the form of FDA-approved nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) are more likely to quit.
QuitNowRI can assist any Rhode Islander with quitting smoking, vaping, and other tobacco product use. This service offers customized coaching and NRT for those who are medically eligible. QuitNowRI also includes specialty programs for people with behavioral health conditions, people who are pregnant or postpartum, and people who use menthol tobacco and nicotine products.
