How to quit smoking with the help of your mobile

The arrival of a new year also means the attempt to meet those challenges for which we have toasted on the night of December 31st. For many it is starting a diet, for others going to the gym, changing jobs, homes, cars… but for the vast majority the challenge is to quit smoking

Doing it is not easy, and that is something that only those who have been smokers at some point in their life know. Relapses are the order of the day, and there are infinite tips to quit smoking: from using only our willpower, to replacing the pack of tobacco for one of candies or chewing gum, going through hypnosis.There is also a wide variety of books to do so. But also, an application called QuitNow! -available for both Android and iOS- it has become the favorite for using our mobile to achieve once and for all that cigarettes are only made of chocolatein our lives.

The first time we opened QuitNow! We already find ourselves with a motivational image to continue in the fight. "We are delighted to hear that you have made the hard decision to quit smoking. Congratulations!" In addition, as wallpaper, we can see a drawing in which there is a calendar with a 1 crossed out. That's right, the first day without tobacco.

After that screen, we will be asked for the number of cigarettes we used to smoke each day as well as the number of them our pack. And another of the most motivational parts, the price of each box of cigarettes.And it is that leaving this vice has a direct impact on our economy, something that the application itself will be in charge of teaching us but in its saving mode.

Next, we must fill in the years we have been smoking and the date we stopped smoking. Once we have everything covered, we can enter with our Facebook account so that our data is saved in a social network or simply continue in the application.

Facts that will motivate us day by day

Whether it's your first day or you've quit smoking a long time ago, you'll be able to see your progress thanks to the dashboard of the QuitNow app!which also has a series of achievements so that we do not fail in our purpose.

For example, we have given it that we stopped smoking on September 10, 2016, which would be 122 days without smoking and some 490 euros saved. Also, taking into account the number of cigarettes per day, that would be about twelve hours saved.

If we go to the achievements part, we see that we have stopped smoking 100 cigarettes, that we have saved the twelve hours that we mentioned before and many more. That is, as the days progress, we will be unlocking many of them.

It also has a very interesting part of community, where people leave comments on the application itself. So there we can also put our messages and read those of other people who are using the same app as us and in the same fight.

And finally, there is a he alth section. In it we will see how we have managed to reduce things such as the risk of suffering "sudden death", our blood pressure, recovering taste and smell, having normalized our respiratory function.

If you feel like giving this app a try and quit smoking once and for all, you can download it from both the Apple Store and the Play Store.
