Types of Machines Used to Quit Smoking

The rising number of diseases that are directly linked to cigarette smoking has brought more pressure for smokers to quit the habit. Thankfully, there are a number of gadgets that can help wean smokers off the nicotine they get from cigarettes.

Electronic Cigarettes

• E-cigarettes are now marketed as a more acceptable alternative to lighting cigarettes. Effectively replicating smoking experiences, they satisfy cravings without the carcinogens given by the actual sticks.

Cold or Low-Level Laser Therapy

• Inside a smoker's body, nicotine takes control of endorphin production. Cold lasers or low-level laser treatment restores the body's natural control of the endorphin production system.

Nico-Stoppers

• These gadgets may look like mp3 players but they are actually used to lock-in a ten-piece pack of cigarettes. It releases a cigarette stick at preset intervals, with an LCD screen that flashes self-help messages.

Smoke Signals

• This is a smart, interactive computer case designed to hold a pack of cigarette. It monitors and controls a smoker's smoking habit. In a sense, it delivers a personalized quit plan that also monitor a smoker's quitting progress.

Quit Key
