Abstract: The present invention discloses a modular tobacco de-addiction system that integrates structured questionnaires, an adaptive algorithm, audio-visual behavioral interventions, and progress tracking across multiple deployment platforms. The system comprises a questionnaire module that assesses tobacco dependence, triggers, and motivation; an adaptive algorithm module that generates a personalized de-addiction roadmap and manages progression across three behavioral modules—awareness and motivation, behavior modification and coping strategies, and relapse prevention and long-term maintenance; an audio-visual intervention module delivering stage-specific multimedia content; and a progress tracking and feedback module that records tobacco-use events and user interactions and generates dashboards and reports. The system is deployable via mobile and web applications, kiosks, tablets, and offline printed kits with QR codes, making it suitable for both urban and rural settings and for integration with healthcare and public-health programs.
