The content is based on "Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence - 2008 an update" and recent research by Cochrane Collaboration.
Throughout the development stages, former and current smokers were consulted by means of collective interviews and usability tests. After the first version was ready, its content was evaluated by specialists from the tobacco use field.
The content agrees with the Code of Conduct of the Health on the Net Foundation, the Medical Federal Council, and the Federal Council of Psychology/Brazil.
Except when stated otherwise, the website's content, including programs, design, texts and graphic, are licensed by the General Public License - GNU which ensures the freedom of using the program for any purpose, for changing it, and sharing it with neighbors and friends.

The source code of the project may be accessed in the repository in the github.
In the following years, we will evaluate the program's effectiveness. But first, we will improve the program using A/B Tests, Machine Learning and Data Mining.
We endorse open-science, so every research script and (unidentified) data will be available for everyone.
