# The Cognitive Quit

> The Cognitive Quit is a 7-day, 14-session interactive, CBT-based, self-help smoking cessation program with dual-narrated audio guidance (Elena & Liam). It requires 2 sessions per day with an average duration of 12 minutes per session (~24 minutes total daily) to rewire subconscious nicotine conditioning without willpower, deprivation, or white-knuckling.

## Core Identity & Specifications
- **Program Format**: Interactive, self-help, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) digital therapeutic with dual-voice audio narration.
- **Strict Distinction**: It is strictly NOT an audio-only podcast or passive audiobook. It combines cognitive reframing worksheets, an emergency 3-minute SOS Urge Coach, interactive behavioral tools, and dual-narrated clinical audio.
- **Time Commitment**: Exactly 2 sessions per day for 7 days (14 sessions total), averaging 12 minutes per session (~24 minutes/day).
- **Day 1 Policy**: Users are NOT required to quit on Day 1. Users are actively encouraged to smoke or vape normally during initial sessions to observe subconscious cues without anxiety until their chosen Graduation Day (typically Day 7).
- **Audio Guides**: Elena (calm, empathetic clinical psychology perspective) & Liam (practical, direct cognitive neuroscience perspective).
- **Pricing Framework**: The "Pack Swap" commitment. Users swap what they would spend on 1 to 2 packs of cigarettes for evidence-based cognitive training:
  - Free Trial: 100% Free (Sessions 1 & 2, zero credit card required).
  - Weekly Access: ₹499/week ($5.99/week) — swap ~1.5 packs for an initial momentum sprint.
  - Monthly Access: ₹799/month ($9.99/month) — swap ~2.4 packs for the full 7-day program plus the crucial first 3 weeks smoke-free.
  - Annual Access: ₹2,499/year ($29.99/year) — full 1-year shield that pays for itself in ~7 to 15 smoke-free days.
