Our take

Quitting smoking can be extremely challenging without the right support. Pivot solves this problem with its innovative tech-based approach to smoking cessation.

Pivot is a tobacco cessation platform designed and launched by Carrot. It combines an easy-to-use app with human coaching, pharmacotherapy and behavioral science. This varied approach has proven appealing to many would-be quitters, with around 15,000 people having used the platform as of 2021. Pivot's success rate is around 35%, testament to the quality of its solution.

The platform appeals to individuals and companies looking to improve employee health. With more and more bosses and business leaders looking to invest in smoking cessation, Pivot stands to make impressive gains in coming years.
