# My Last Smoke Break

> A quit-smoking app that expects the bad choice, not a treatment. It learns
> roughly when your smoke breaks happen, checks in at each one (did you take
> it, or skip it?) and shows a card of where that habit can lead. It cuts your
> daily number over time at a pace you pick. No promises. Private skip count,
> no badges, no sympathy. $20 once, never a subscription.

free cost calculator at /math/ is open now.

Built and run by one person. It is a web app (PWA) you install to your phone's
home screen; on iPhone that is Share -> Add to Home Screen in Safari.

## How it works

- You log a smoke when you have one. From about day four it reads your own
  history and starts checking in just before the times you normally light up.
- At each of those times it checks in: did you take that smoke break, or skip
  it? It never tells you to smoke. Each check-in shows one card of where that
  habit can lead (money, hospital, people): one card, one moment, not a daily
  lecture.
- Two characters deliver the cards: the Clerk, from the Dept. of Lost Causes,
  and Darlene. You pick which one you want.
- It keeps a private count of the breaks you skipped. Nothing rides on it: no
  badge to earn, no reward, and no penalty.

## What it is not

- Not hypnosis, not a hypnotherapy product, and not a medication or a cessation
  drug. It makes no medical claim and promises no quit rate.
- Not a subscription. There is no trial, no renewal, no premium tier, and no
  free tier.
- Not a tracker that only counts days. The point is the moment you would have
  smoked, not the number at the top of a screen.

## The method, in one sourced line

It is a taper, not cold turkey. Cutting down first works as well as cold turkey,
according to a 2019 Cochrane review of 51 trials and 22,509 people (Lindson et
al., CD013183):
https://www.cochrane.org/evidence/CD013183_can-people-stop-smoking-cutting-down-amount-they-smoke-first
That review is about the method, not about this app.
