Item Description

No Smoking is an app made for anyone who is having troubles breaking their habit. No Smoking is an
app designing to slowly wean you off your habit. The app starts in learn mode where it records your
habits frequency and severity. When you are ready to quit you exit learn mode and begin quit mode. At
this point the app tailors a quit schedule based on the data it has collected during learn mode. Unlike
patches that have 3 stages which quickly drop your nicotine levels between phases, No Smoking slowly
drops your nicotine levels over time. You will hardly notice you’ve cut back until you’ve quit. There is
also a motivation and tip section for when you are feeling weak or you are slipping off your schedule.
The app also keeps track of some very interesting statistics including averages, maximums, minimums,
saved money, saved tar and nicotine levels and more. Even if you aren’t ready to quit, buy this app and
run it for a while, then check the stats and you may just change your mind. All future updates to this
app will be free of charge to anyone who has purchased any version. For a little more than the price of a
pack of smokes you won’t regret purchasing this app.
