Researchers Help Women Kick the Habit

While doing some research on new ways to quit smoking, I came article across an article about research using a tiny gadget that fits in the palm of your hand yet promises to help break one of the most difficult to stop addictions out there -- smoking! According to the article linked above, Associate Professor Monica Scheibmeir at KU Medical School conducted a study into ways which women could quit smoking permanently.

The study used "QuitKey™  a small device, which resembles an automobile keyless remote."  The computer in the little gadget monitors your smoking habits over a week and then ...

... implements a gradual rate reduction protocol targeting both the physiological dependence on nicotine and conditioned stimuli that may trigger the urge to smoke. QuitKey™ cues the individual when it is time for him or her to smoke, based on their history. In reality, what it is  ... tak(ing) away the natural instinct to smoke on impulse...

So QuitKey alters your smoking routine and eases you off cigarettes gradually. QuitKey reminds you when to smoke and when not to smoke. It works methodically, step by and hour by hour. one day at a time.

This QuitKey approach to quit smoking is the results of this study with woman as well as 20 years of continuous research in other contexts. It was developed and proven effective with grants from the National Institutes of Health and builds on the enormous success of LifeSign, a first generation smoking cessation computer that uses the same gradual reduction technology.

QuitKey works in two stages. Stage 1 (7 days): You smoke at your normal rate and use the QuitKey smoke button to record every cigarette you smoke. QuitKey uses this information to form your personal quit plan. Stage 2 (14 to 34 days): QuitKey helps you follow your quit plan by prompting you when to smoke. Each day you smoke less and gradually reduce you nicotine dependence while preparing yourself to quit for good.
