A minimalist, evidence-based landing page designed to challenge smoking habits and deconstruct nicotine addiction through cognitive behavioral concepts.
NO SMOKE is a web-based medical student initiative that approaches tobacco dependence through cognitive regulation, highlighting that smoking is often a motor reflex rather than a conscious choice. Designed with a sleek, dark aesthetic, the application prompts users to reconsider their relationship with smoking by highlighting scientific facts about craving duration and the illusion of stress relief.
The landing page breaks down smoking addiction into three main pillars:
- Concept: Smoking is often driven by automatic motor impulses triggered by external cues (e.g., drinking coffee, waiting, boredom) before cognitive awareness takes place.
- Citation: Piper et al. (2004)
- Concept: Nicotine does not reduce stress; instead, it raises the baseline heart rate and stress level. The perceived "calmness" is merely the temporary relief of withdrawal symptoms.
- Citation: Parrott (1999); Wood & Griffiths (2009)
- Concept: Craving spikes typically last only 3 to 5 minutes. By practicing cognitive regulation ("urge surfing"), the Prefrontal Cortex can override subconscious motor reflexes.
- Citation: Kober et al. (2010)
