Let Windows Mobile Help You Quit Smoking

Trying to cutback or quit smoking? We know it can be quite difficult traveling down that road, so why not use your Windows Mobile device to help you reach your goal? A new app, called Smoke Tracker, seems to be the perfect companion for people trying to reduce their cigarette consumption. It’s a simple app, but many are already finding it useful. Smoke Tracker will record your smoking habits, so you can keep an eye on how many cigarettes you’re smoking, see how much money you’ve spent on them and remind yourself when you’ve been smoking too much. Keep reading to learn about its features and where to get it.

It’s very easy to use. Whenever you have a smoke, just press the big “got one” button and the app will record the time, date and the cigarette you just smoked. The main screen will always show you how many you’ve smoked during that day and the total price for all those cigarettes. The statistics screen will display the total cigarettes smoked last week, this week, last month, this month and this year. Like the main screen, it will calculate how much money was spent on cigarettes for the respective time frames. Think of the stats screen as a progress report of sorts.

In the settings, you can select your daily target and max. Once you reach your daily target, a coughing sound will be played and your total count will turn red. Exceeding the daily max will result in a comical song being played, warning you that you just reached your max. This will hopefully remind you that you intended not to smoke beyond that point. Both these sounds can be customized to audio clips of your choice. Another useful setting is the option to enable the “smoke advisor.” This setting will take into account the time in between each cigarette in correspondence with your daily target. If the advisor thinks you're getting off track, you will get a warning message.

Smoking is done in the moment, so it’s hard to realize how much you’ve been smoking each day, week, month and year. Seeing the habit represented in unitary and monetary amounts, in theory, should aid in battling the temptation and put you on your way to reducing your smoking intake. It’s free and promotes a healthier lifestyle, so why not try it? Grab it from the developer's site.
