APPS THAT CAN HELP QUIT SMOKING.
Okay, after working with some friends all day and night and passively smoking through 5 packs of cigarettes, it’s time to find apps that can help people quit smoking. There is an app for everything now, except of course, an app that downloads food (until that happens, I’m not impressed). So here are the most recommended mobile applications that would go a long way in helping anyone interested in curbing the irritating habit of smoking.
These apps however, would not take the cigarettes from you and lock them up in the trash can, or shame you with a picture of your “dilapidating” lungs, chapped lips , fucked up teeth and dry scaly skin, it wouldn’t show you a picture of how you look older than your age and how you would look in the years to come. They don’t even come close to showing you how you would want to cough out your lungs in the advert of a smoking induced lung cancer or give you a playback of your wheeze blaring in your beats , so they all need to be updated.
However, here are the apps some previous chain smokers swear by.
1. Quit It
Straight to the point name. The quit it app is a free app with very good ratings. Instead of public shaming, like posting a Facebook message page to all your friends and members of your addiction class like “That mother fucker is out in the dark corner of the street, fumbling with a lighter again and smoking his lungs out, this is the 2nd time in 2 days, the cigarette junkie would fall off the wagon”. It is instead based on motivation. It takes the amount of cigarette you smoke per day, the amount per pack and time of quitting and keeps furnishing you information on how much you’ve saved by not smoking, the amount of tar buildup your lungs has avoided and how much of a better person you have become with each health goal challenge, you’ve overcome. It is very straight forward, with few ads here and there , no annoying pop ups and other vices that would make you want to smoke.
2. Livestrong
This app is going to be your quit coach, at least that is what it purports to be. It is a physician approved app and one of the most recommended. Some chain smokers however warn that the interface can make you smoke more.” I'd have 3 smokes already just setting the stupid thing up” It’s slogan is dare to quit smoking and it make use of social media, to brag about you coming out of the hole you got yourself in, in the first place. It tracks your cravings too. Here is a review by someone of the smoking app by someone who doesn't smoke.

3. Quitter
Here is another app that helps you quit smoking called quitter. Like the name, it helps you quit but not only smoking, it helps you quit everything you want to quit, including life.
This app has a soothing relaxing music to help fight cravings and the voice of Andrew Johnson, (think male siri’s voice if he smoked three packs of cigarettes then spoke) asides all the other similarities to all quit smoking apps.
There is also kick smoking app for window phone users and a ton of others.
Smoking is actually on the decline in developed countries except the ones in Europe and on the rise in developing countries with no significant change in under developed countries, changing location can also help you quit smoking or otherwise increase your intake. Quitting smoking is not an easy task, you would need friends and community to help you. Join becomeanex.org or the stop smoking group on REDDIT. One of the best ways of quitting a habit is finding another habit that would give you nearly as much pleasure as the old one. Good luck finding that .
