Quitter – (Free) iPhone
One of the great incentives to quit smoking, other than to improve your health, is to save money. Depending on how many cigarettes you smoke a day, it can be a very costly habit. Quitter is a simple, free application that tells you how many days you’ve gone without putting a cigarette to your lips, and also how much money you’ve saved. Once those dollars begin to add up, it’s a great motivator to stay smoke-free.
Livestrong MyQuit Coach – ($0.99) iPhone
The MyQuit Coach application from Livestrong.com creates a personalized plan to help you quit smoking. This physician approved app is easy to use and helps you to evaluate your current status, set attainable goals, and adjust preferences according to your needs. Either choose to quit smoking from day 1 and ditch the cigarettes straight away, or gradually decrease your daily nicotine intake and cut down at a steady pace. The app features personalized inspirational photos, motivational tips, and progress charts that will provide you with all the willpower and help that you need.

Max brings his famous ‘Quit Smoking Now’ program to iOS, which has already helped thousands of people to kick the habit. The app is packed full of great features to help you quit, such as an introduction video and getting started session, the main ‘Quit Smoking Now’ program, a booster session to keep you going strong, a quit smoking e-book and guide, a smoking calculator, and a whole lot more. It may be a little more expensive than the other iOS apps that aim to help you quit, but for little more than the price of a packet of cigarettes, this proven quit smoking program could help you put a stop to an unhealthy habit.
Smoke Out – ($0.99) iPhone
Smoke Out is another handy little application that’s great at keeping track of your progress with many motivational features.

What’s great about Smoke Out is you can post your accomplishments and stats to Facebook and Twitter and update your friends and family on your progress for some much-needed motivational boasting.

SmokeBreak adapts to you and creates a personalized program based on the information you give it, and then issues you with a daily “report card” that awards you with stars for achieving your goals, beating your goals, or for avoiding cigarettes completely.
My Stop Smoking Coach With Allen Carr – ($2.99) iPhone

I think this is fantastic! Thanks for the review of these great tools, and they can only help, and create some excitement to the new non-smoker, in helping them with their quit. I do think that it is important that each smoker realizes that they are more powerful than they think they are, and that their quit is only a few steps away.
Stories from those who have quit other addicting drugs like alcohol, cocaine, and others, they will tell you that smoking ranks right up there as one of the most difficult drugs to quit.

It’s great! I’ve been looking
for something like this ever since I’ve decided to quit smoking. I
know that it won’t be an easy thing to do, but as they say there’s no harm in
trying right? Nothing can be done if we just let everything slide away. Once we
have decided on something we should do something about it right away.
I am really wondering whether there are some kind of gadgets and some kind of application that goes with it by dint of which anyone interested to quit smoking or any other bad habits can train their mind and reprogram their their mind.
Thanks

I release my own iPhone app to quit smoking using gamification mechanism : Kwit (http://bit.ly/J6Qjtn)
Hi, there’s a brand new quit smoking app for iPhone. It’s called “Quit Pro” and basically helps you track all your cigarettes or cravings (if you’ve already completely quit) to better understand when, why and even where you smoke or resist the most. It then produces beautiful stats and heat maps. Give it a try.
There’s a demo video here:

And you can download the app from the App Store here:

Hi, I developed a new free app to help quit smoking: YouCanQuit
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/youcanquit/id602578387?ls=1&mt=8
YouCanQuit is a free iPhone application where you can track your progress after quitting smoking:
– it will give you a counter of how long have you been without smoking and how much you saved
– how much you can save in 1 day, week, month, etc…
– allows you to share your statistics by email, Facebook or twitter.
And it’s free!
Hope you enjoy it!
