This solution still has people believe they want to smoke and that it's something they enjoy (it will de-stress them, etc). These core beliefs have to be addressed IMO. Only until the user does NOT want to smoke and sees smoking as not only not being a benefit to them but also a harm to them, have they successfully quit smoking.
Not sure how this app works, though.
- robbrown451 8y agoWell I've quit smoking multiple times, the first time in 1990 and then after a few relapses that each lasted a few months, in the time since. I still want to smoke. I see no reason that will ever go away. It is enjoyable and relaxing -- during the time I am smoking and soon afterward. But it makes me unhealthy and generally feel like crap overall, so I choose not to anymore. But I do know that during my relapses, this box would have fixed the problem quick. I just have short term weakness, and if a whole pack is sitting there, I will smoke it pretty quickly. If I could easily taper it off (and this device allows that) it would have been easy. (I've actually done the equivalent, but it required someone to hold onto my cigarettes and dole them out...the box automates that)
