Before Quitine was a product, it was something Mark saw every day behind the pharmacy counter for 40 years. In this short video, he and Ollie explain why they built Quitine and what real support actually looks like.
Press play, no need to leave the page.
Across four decades as a pharmacist, Mark watched thousands of people try to quit, including his own father, who finally stopped after 35 years of smoking. Different people, same cycle playing out again and again.
It wasn’t about willpower. It was about support.

Mark saw this up close with his own father, whose fight to quit smoking shaped the way Mark approached every patient. He knew people needed more than nicotine replacement.
He carried that belief for decades, and eventually, that belief became the seed of Quitine.

Create a quit experience that actually helps people succeed, not just survive cravings.
