Use Quit Smoking aids and smart gadgets to get rid of bad habits

Even if more and more people have understood that smoking cigarettes are both expensive and extremely bad for your general health and stamina, there are still people out there struggling to put the smoke down.

I seriously don’t think that most of my readers interested in fitness and health actually are addicted to nicotine, but I don’t know. Readers that don’t smoke will probably find this post boring. Maybe you have a friend you can send this article to or buy one of these products as a gift for a smoker? That will show that person that you really care and want to help them out of the bad habit and getting healthier!

But, the main audience I’m reaching out to is you that still smokes and want to give it up.

I will not give you any special tips or tricks for getting rid of your habit. There are plenty of ’10 ways to quit smoking’ sites who do. That was just an example, but there are tons of different methods I presume. In essence, there are two ways to quit – immediately or gradually. I think I recommend quitting gradually based on experiences with bad results from friends who tried to quit too fast. I like drug free solutions and I have always believed that technology and high-tech health gadgets can help people with different situations in this modern world. After all, this is a site about gadgets and especially healthy gadgets.

So…

I have collected a list of 14 of the best ‘quit smoking aids’ in the form of gadgets, thingies, common products, and technical devices. I hope it will ease the search for a tool that can motivate you, or your friends, to give up smoking.

3. Pavlok Trainer

Shocking gadget for breaking bad habits like smoking and more!

Pavlok Trainer

Pavlok Trainer

The Pavlok Trainer is a wrist-worn stop smoking gadget that has the amazing effect that it can break any bad habit and urge. We all agree that smoking is on the top of the list of bad habits.

When you finally have the black box with the yellow lightning symbol on it and unbox the gadget, your first thoughts may be…. Will this thing work?

The theory behind the gizmo is that a combination of behavioral training techniques and a shock by the innovative hardware will help you stop whatever habit you want to quit. With the “5 Minutes For 5 Days” program you are supposed to zap yourself when you do the action, and eventually, the amount and frequency of cravings will reduce over time. Sounds reasonable I guess. 

It sounds a bit like clickers used behavioral training of dogs. Use the Pavlok iPhone app for adjustments and courses to finally kick habits like smoking, nail biting, eating sugar, being unproductive, hitting the snooze button, negative thoughts, getting over your ex, or even getting a song unstuck from your head and more.

I would be very interested in learning if this gizmo works, or not.

5. Quitbit Smart Lighter

A smart lighter with smartphone app that helps you track, reduce and eventually quit smoking!

Quitbit Smart Lighter

The Quitbit Lighter is a clever little device. As a fitness gadgets enthusiast I find the name very fitting and the resemblance to Fitbit is there.

It is actually a fully functional lighter that you use to light up a cigarette. It tracks how often you do it, and if you use it too often it simply will not work. A timer on a display tells you when you can have your next cigarette.

The lighter is wirelessly connected to an app where you can set plans, reach goals and check statistics. You can even share your progress with the online world and community if you want. So if you are a smoker who does not lose the lighter all the time (which I have understood is a challenge), this product is made for you.

9. Kitchen Safe

Lock the addictive cigarettes in a smart box with timer!

Kitchen Safe

Kitchen Safe

The Kitchen Safe is a smart box with a lock developed at MIT and scientifically proven to work. It keeps whatever you put in it for a certain amount of time. It can be a pack of cigarettes, candy, cookies, chocolate, video game controls, credit cards, pills, or other bad habits. I’m sure you get the idea. According to studies of highly successful people, the best strategy for achieving goals is to avoid relying on willpower alone. These people are more likely to use something called precommitment, which significantly improves odds of achieving their goals, such as quit smoking.

The Kitchen Safe box itself is easy to learn and control. The lid can be locked for any amount of time between 1 minute and 10 days. The batteries last for between 6 to 12 months, so that should be plenty.

I suggest buying the non-transparent box, so you don’t see whats inside and get tempted, but it’s your choice. It comes in several sizes and colors.

Coughing and Screaming Ashtray

I have read mixed reviews of this product so I don’t know how functional and useful it really is, but it might be a fun novelty gift for a smoking friend or family member you care about with black (or smoke-grey) humor.

Anyway, it is a good reminder that the precious lungs don’t deserve inhalation of smoke.

I think reviewer ‘Geraine_2007’ on Amazon sums this product up good… “Funny. Cheap feeling and the scream is lame. But it is a funny, not a necessity.” 

That’s it!
