First, Let’s look into ‘SMOQUIT’ which is a ‘stop smoking manager application’. It is only for iPhone and iPod. SMOQUIT motivates people who are determined to give up smoking, and helps them to manage their stop-smoking plans. And it manages their own non-smoking condition and periods of non-smoking, showing the ‘financial benefits,’ ‘extension of life,‘ and so on, gained through quitting smoking. It also shows them how much they have lost through their smoking record. In addition, they can manage the body changes they gain through quitting smoking in chronological order, and they can set up non-smoking goals and keep a ‘Non-smoking Diary’. So they can gain motivation for quitting smoking through these efficient techniques. This application gets many good reviews from bloggers who have used it.
And another application is ‘Smoke-free’ by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Korea. When you turn on this application, you can see a ‘Scheduler for quitting smoking’. First, you can start it when you have made a vow not to smoke. And you can see the scheduler as a calendar which you should check every day. If you don’t smoke on that day, you can see the cigarette cost saved. And you can see ‘SMOKE FREE’ signs on the calendar on non-smoking days. When you see these words, you can feel a sense of accomplishment, which will help you to harden your resolve to quit smoking.
They can help you to give up smoking little by little as you use them. They are useful if you want to give up smoking.
