Customer Reviews of LifeSign QuitKey Smoking Cessation Computer
Customer Review: Does the job.
Summary: 5 Stars
After 30 years of developing a cigarette addiction to the tune of up to 2 packs a day I decided to give it up about 20 years ago. I tried to "wean" myself off by limiting the number of cigarettes I smoked in a day. I would set out my daily supply & every day I would remove 2 smokes. After about a few days I gave it up. I would smoke my allotment as I normally would & would then spend the remaining time suffering withdrawal symptoms. It did nothing for the physiological side of quitting. It was basically a form of cold turkey. If I could find a "timer" or some such to do the same thing but in a more orderly fashion that would be great. Well, I came across lifesigns(the original). Sounded exactly what I was looking for. I ordered two, one for me & one for my wife. She resisted......said it wouldn't work, too difficult. And for her she was right. She played with it for a few days & tossed it aside. She still smokes & is now my ex( nothing to do with smoking). I kept with the program & haven't smoked a cigarette since the last day. I will however, on my deathbed, while looking at the light at the end of the tunnel, smoke one last cigarette. Yes I get the occasional craving. But after all these years of being an ex-smoker they're not a problem anymore. If there weren't so many negatives(cost,health,addiction,social stigma,inconvenience, etc.)I would take it up again as for awhile I did enjoy smoking. But the negatives far out-way the few benefits. One thing on lifesigns the program is not as easy as you may be led to believe, But is easier than I actually thought it would be. I would recommend this program only if you're serious about quitting. As far as the actual product the original Lifesign worked as advertised, it did the job. I can only think the new improved quitkey is just as good or better, just don't get it confused with your remote starter fob. I also think this new one is only about as much as I paid for the original so its still a bargain compared to the thousands I saved by giving up a nasty habit.

The QuitKey FAQs
Quitting smoking can be a daunting prospect. Many have tried and failed, or tried only to return to cigarettes a few months, or even years, later. But don't give up, there is a smoking cessation program out there for everyone, and QuitKey has been proven as an effective way to kick the habit. Here are the answers to a variety of frequently asked questions about QuitKey and smoking cessation in general.
Will I gain weight?
Nicotine changes your metabolism -- the rate at which your body burns calories -- so quitting actually changes your metabolism back to "normal." If you are concerned about weight gain, simply try to limit your intake of high fat food and increase your activity level. Light exercise, such as walking, will not only help prevent unwanted weight gain, but it will also help you deal more effectively with the stress caused by quitting smoking. Try taking a short, brisk walk during the times when you used to enjoy a tobacco break.
What if I have finished the program and I start smoking again?
It is not easy to quit smoking. Some people need a second or even a third chance. You also might like to know that for most people, quitting smoking is like learning to ride a bike -- you don't just hop on and ride like a champion. It takes time and a little practice. Most people try to quit smoking at least once before they truly quit for good. You just had your practice, so don't give up, try again. The important thing is to not view each attempt as a failure, rather you should see each attempt as a step on the path towards success.
What if I cheat?
The process of quitting tobacco involves learning how to cope with the inevitable urges. When the urge comes along QuitKey recommends that you try one of the following techniques: drink a glass of water, call a friend, or take a walk. Your likelihood of success is much greater if you follow the program QuitKey has designed just for you. If you absolutely can't wait for the next tobacco prompt, be sure to press the Smoke button as soon as you light up. QuitKey will take this "cheat" into consideration and adjust the program if necessary.
What if I work and can't take a break when I am prompted?
Most people work and cannot take a tobacco break whenever they want, so QuitKey has a built-in mechanism that allows your program to stop and wait for you. However, QuitKey does advise that you smoke as close to the beep prompt as you can, and that when you do get a chance to smoke you should avoid making it a pleasurable activity. Don't combine smoking with drinking coffee, chatting with friends, or talking on the phone. Just take your break, smoke, and go back to your regular routine.
How long does it take to get the nicotine out of my body?
The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors, some of which you control. When going through the withdrawals of nicotine dependence, you should drink plenty of water to help flush toxins out of your body. Other handy tips include eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and getting regular exercise. These extra steps will hasten the removal of nicotine from your body.
 When compared with other smoking cessation programs, QuitKey offers the most benefits for a reasonable cost. |
