Are you a smoker who’s ready to finally kick the habit? Well theres now a new app for that. Labeled as Quitbit, the app on your phone syncs with a custom made lighter to track and limit your daily cigarette consumption. You simply input how many cigs you want to allow yourself to smoke that day and minimum time of how far apart you want each one to be. That’s all there is to it. If you try to use the lighter outside of the restrictions you have instructed it to follow it will not work. There is a built in digital screen that displays how long ago your last cigarette was, in addition to counting how many cigarettes you smoked that day. Of course you can cheat and use a normal lighter, but that defeats the purpose of investing in the lighter to begin with.
Quitbit’s founder, Ata Ghofrani, explained that the device is meant as a tool to help those who are truly determined to quit smoking. Smokers trying to quit may still want to implore nicotine gum and patches, and the lighter will be there when you absolutely have to given into the urge to light up. The lighter is still in its Kickstarter crowd funding phase and you still have time to back the project if you want. It will start at $69 or you can just give your support and receive yours when they are ready to ship. So support a start up and improve your health at the same time, because couldn’t you afford to breathe a little easier?
