Mist is a spirit of night haze who keeps you company and shows the way. Nothing to do with cigarettes. The files are the same art as in the app.

Brand rules

  • Mist never holds a cigarette or breathes smoke, and never appears next to cigarettes, packs, lighters, ashtrays or tobacco brands.
  • Don't recolour or stretch Mist, add legs, or draw it as a puff of smoke.
  • Use light text on night purple, and night purple text (#1B1030) on the three pastels (lilac, peach, cyan).
  • No one smoking on screen, no minors, and no making smoking look cool or pairing it with drinking.
  • Please include "Adults 20+ only" and "Smoking harms your health. Quitline 0800-636-363 (toll-free)".
  • Quit mode is a community feature, not medical or cessation treatment; please make no health claims for it.
