Stop Smoking Programme

The Stop Smoking Programme is intended for people who want to give up smoking or cut down on smoking and would like to receive personalised support to help them do so.

This programme may be suitable for you if:

• want to give up smoking;
• have previously tried to give up, but have started smoking again;
• needs guidance and structure;
• want to learn how to cope better with difficult moments;
• want to work towards lasting behavioural change;
• want to gain more control over situations in which you would normally smoke.

Additional conditions

You do not need a referral to take part in the Stop Smoking Programme.

However, you must comply with the following conditions:

• You are 18 years of age or older
• You smoke and want to give up
• You are sufficiently motivated to follow the entire programme

You’ll start with a no-obligation introductory meeting, during which we’ll discuss whether the programme suits your situation and goals.

Throughout the programme, you will work with your stop smoking coach to draw up a personalised plan to quit.

In any case, you can count on:

• personalised support tailored to your situation;
• support during difficult times;
• focus on behaviour, habits and lifestyle;
• practical tips for staying smoke-free;
• support during and after the process;
• access to the Rondom app.

The Rondom app

When you start the Stop Smoking programme, you will gain access to the Rondom app. The Rondom App supports you during and after the programme. Think of it as a digital buddy that helps you maintain healthy habits and continue working towards your goals.

Via the Rondom app Support remains available even outside the coaching sessions. This means you always have extra support at your fingertips.

With the app, you can, amongst other things:

• join the lifestyle community to share experiences and motivate one another;
• take part in personal challenges that suit your goals;
• track your daily activity with the pedometer;
• collecting points as extra motivation to maintain healthy habits;
• view articles, videos, recipes and assignments;
• register for online and in-person activities and events.

Your stop-smoking coach will guide you through the programme.

Where this adds value, collaboration with other healthcare providers from Rondom is possible. For example, a occupational therapist or psychologist.

Together, we will look at what support best suits your situation and goals.

As well as receiving personalised coaching from our stop-smoking coach, you can also make use of support tools to help you give up smoking during this programme. Read more on this page Further information.

Any adult who wants to give up smoking can take part in the Stop Smoking Programme. Whether the programme is covered depends on your health insurance and your personal circumstances.

Reimbursement by VGZ and affiliated brands

Are you insured with VGZ or one of the labels affiliated with VGZ (such as IZA, UMC, Univé, ZEKUR en IZZ)? In that case, the Stop Smoking Programme will be fully reimbursed.

Good to know: the reimbursement:

• does not affect your excess;
• does not require a personal contribution;
• It also reimburses the cost of support and aids to help people give up smoking that form part of the programme, such as nicotine replacement therapies.

Reimbursement from other health insurers

Are you insured with a health insurer other than VGZ? If so, the programme may be partially or fully reimbursed. This depends on your health insurance policy and your personal circumstances.

We advise you to check with your health insurer in advance:

• whether the stop-smoking programme is reimbursed;
• up to what amount the programme is reimbursed;
• or whether the reimbursement affects your excess.

Programme costs

The cost of the full Stop Smoking programme is €411.85.
