If you ’ve ever chastised a friend for their gnarly smoke drug abuse , you sleep together that objurgation does absolutely nothing . Making people feel forged about smoke just pee them want to smoke in secret . Well , here ’s an idea : What if it was your lighter making you find bad about smoke . You ca n’t incline away from your easy right ?
There ’s a newKickstarterfor a snazzy “ smart ” light call the Quitbit . Like the fitness tracking contrivance whose name it caricature — no lawsuits , yet!—the Quitbit would supposedly help you monitor your quitting with data circularize on a built - in display , keeping track of how much you fume , how long it ’s been since your last one , etc . In theory , this information might move you along the way to depart by help you “ understand ” your smoking . Or it might just add a statistics buzz to the nicotine buzz you ’ve already got go .
It ’s possible this is just a fancy way to lie to yourself about step down . When and if the gadget gets funded and really develop , its Maker desire to sell the Quitbit for $ 150 . That ’s pricey for something with no demonstrated success charge per unit . Then again , it might work . For people who are desperate to quit smoking — and I ’ve been there — any little second that helps could be a skilful thing . [ Kickstarter — Thanks , Steven ! ]
