A way to quit that doesn’t suck

Nobody decided to be a smoker for life. But the thought of going cold turkey keeps most smokers exactly where they are.

There’s another way.

30 attempts per smoker on average

Not because people don’t want to quit. Because everyone does it alone. You hit your limit, you throw the pack away, and you try to hold on. Nobody sits down with you first to talk about what you’re actually up against. So you run into the same walls every other smoker runs into — and when it doesn’t stick, you feel like it’s your fault.

About

A conversation. While you’re still smoking.

Warm Turkey runs one-on-one conversations about smoking. Together, we go through the whole thing — how the relationship started, how it works now, what smoking gives you and what it costs you, why quitting feels the way it feels, and what other methods get wrong. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to expect when you quit — and what not to.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

There are two conversations. The first is about 40 minutes — we get to know each other, I learn about your smoking, and we see where you’re at. No agenda, no pressure. The second is longer and more structured — we go through smoking together, step by step. How it works, why quitting feels the way it does, and what to actually expect when you stop.

How much does it cost?

Nothing, for now. I’ve been doing this with friends and people around me, and I’m opening it up to more people. It’s still early — if it keeps helping, I’ll find a way to sustain it, maybe through community support. But right now, it’s free.

Do I need to prepare anything?

Just show up as you are. Keep smoking as usual — don’t cut down, don’t try to change anything before we talk. We want to look at smoking as it is, not after you’ve already started fighting it. All you need is a bit of curiosity and the willingness to have an honest conversation.

Were you a smoker?

Oh sure, I were. I quit in 2018, after years of going back and forth. I quit many times and went back every time. The last time was so different — that I couldn’t let it go. I was amazed by how ideas, put together in a specific order, could take the pressure out of changing something that had been part of my life for so long. So here I am, practicing this.
