About VSF - Smoke Free
Structured support to stop smoking with auriculotherapy
VSF - Smoke Free is a leading brand dedicated to supporting individuals who want to quit smoking through a structured, non-invasive, and guided approach.
Originally established in Portugal in 2013 under the name "Viver Sem Fumo" (meaning 'Living Smoke-Free', from which the acronym VSF is derived), the method's strong track record and specialized expertise paved the way for our expansion into the United Kingdom.
The method used integrates auriculotherapy with electrostimulation on the auricle (outer ear).
The approach aims to support the management of cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and automatic behaviours associated with tobacco consumption.
What we do
VSF - Smoke Free provides smoking cessation support through an individual consultation, the application of auriculotherapy with ear electrostimulation, and structured aftercare.
The process was developed for people looking for a non-medicinal alternative, with a clear explanation before the consultation and support after the treatment.
The consultation allows us to assess the smoker's profile, identify triggers, and guide practical strategies for the first few days without smoking.
Our approach
Quitting smoking does not depend on nicotine alone.
For many people, cigarettes are linked to routines, stress, social moments, work breaks, anxiety, or habits repeated over several years.
Therefore, the VSF - Smoke Free approach considers three main dimensions:
✅ physical dependence on nicotine;
✅ routines and behaviours associated with smoking;
✅ emotional factors such as stress, anxiety, and irritability.
Auriculotherapy with electrostimulation is used to support the control of the urge to smoke and the symptoms associated with withdrawal.
The aftercare helps reinforce strategies at times when the risk of relapse might be higher.
Who this approach is for
VSF - Smoke Free may be suitable for people who:
✅ want to quit smoking with structured support;
✅ have already tried to stop before and are looking for a different type of approach;
✅ find it difficult to manage cravings;
✅ prefer a non-medicinal option;
✅ value support after the consultation;
✅ are looking for a clear, practical process with defined next steps.
Before booking, the team can clarify how the consultation works, what is included, the price, what aftercare is provided, and if there are any specific recommendations before the treatment.
Experience and aftercare
VSF - Smoke Free brings together more than 13 years of accumulated experience in smoking cessation and supporting people who want to quit smoking.
Throughout this journey, the team has worked with different profiles of smokers, including people who have smoked for many years, people who have already tried to stop several times, and people looking for a different approach to deal with addiction.
This practical experience allows us to adapt our communication, guidance, and support to the most common difficulties in the smoking cessation process.
What sets VSF - Smoke Free apart
VSF - Smoke Free stands out by combining a non-invasive technique with a structured support framework.
Our service is not limited to applying the treatment. It also includes an initial assessment, practical guidance, and structured aftercare.
Our main points of differentiation are:
✅ individual consultation;
✅ non-invasive method;
✅ no medication used in the treatment applied;
✅ support after the consultation;
✅ attention to triggers and routines associated with smoking;
✅ clear communication about expectations and results;
✅ the opportunity to clarify doubts before booking.
Results and expectations
Results vary from person to person.
The response to treatment can depend on several factors, including the level of dependence, personal context, history of previous attempts, motivation, exposure to triggers, and compliance with guidance after the consultation.
VSF - Smoke Free does not present the treatment as an individual guarantee, but as structured support for those who want to quit smoking with professional guidance.
According to VSF - Smoke Free's internal follow-up clinic data, the success rate observed in 2025 was 79.31%.
This figure represents results monitored by the team and does not constitute a guarantee of an individual outcome.
Our way of working
VSF - Smoke Free favours clear, practical, and realistic communication.
Before the consultation, the client should understand:
✅ how the method works;
✅ what happens during the session;
✅ what is included;
✅ how long it takes;
✅ what aftercare is available;
✅ what the limitations are;
✅ what to do if cravings or relapses arise.
The aim is for the decision to be made with sufficient information, realistic expectations, and confidence in the process.
