The Rhode Island Department of Health has launched the QuitLogix app to provide expanded tobacco and nicotine cessation resources. The platform offers progress tracking and educational content for individuals enrolled in the state-funded QuitNowRI service.
Why it matters
The app aims to improve access to smoking and vaping cessation support by providing users with interactive digital tools. By offering resources in both English and Spanish, the program seeks to reach a broader segment of the population struggling with nicotine dependency.
Eligible enrollees can access nicotine replacement therapy including patches, gum, and lozenges without needing insurance or a prescription. The QuitLogix app is currently available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
