Abstract

The device for braking a smoker's automatic habit of reaching for a cigarette comprises a printed surface attached to a cigarette packet. On this surface are located places reserved for reporting the consumption by day (2), by week (3) and by month (4). There are a series of printed numbers (1) which can be scraped off.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif ayant pour but de briser la gestuelle automatique des fumeurs. The present invention relates to a device intended to break the automatic movement of smokers.

A notre connaissance, il n'existe à l'heure actuelle aucun procédé visant à intervenir dans l'automatisme du geste du fumeur qui prend une cigarette. Le fumeur est non seulement victime de sa dépendance à la nicotine, mais également du réflexe du fumeur qui lui fait saisir une cigarette inconsciemment. Sur ce point aucun système efficace n'a jusqu'alors été mis au point et le fumeur allume une cigarette après l'autre sans qu'aucun obstacle le pousse à s'interroger sur son geste et sur les conséquences qu'il a sur sa santé. To our knowledge, there is currently no process aimed at intervening in the automatic gesture of the smoker who takes a cigarette. The smoker is not only the victim of his addiction to nicotine, but also of the reflex of the smoker who makes him seize a cigarette unconsciously. On this point, no effective system has hitherto been developed and the smoker lights one cigarette after another without any obstacle pushing him to wonder about his gesture and the consequences it has on his health.

C'est cet automatisme aveugle qui nous fait considérer ce geste comme technique, au même titre que le mouvement purement mécanique du bras articulé d'un robot. Le fumeur est un robot qui s'ignore, victime d'une habitude, et son geste de préhension d'une cigarette relève de la technique puisque non provoqué par une décision volontaire de l'être humain. A ce geste technique, personne ne s'est attaqué. It is this blind automatism that makes us consider this gesture as technical, just like the purely mechanical movement of the articulated arm of a robot. The smoker is a robot who ignores himself, victim of a habit, and his gesture of grasping a cigarette is technical since it is not caused by a voluntary decision of the human being. No one attacked this technical gesture.

Pour briser cette gestuelle automatique, nous avons conçu une intervention manuelle qui matérialise la prise de chaque cigarette. A chaque fois que le fumeur ouvre son paquet de cigarettes, ou qu'une cigarette lui est tendue, l'invention est présente pour le rendre conscient de son geste. Cette invention ne fonctionnera que grâce à l'intervention manuelle du fumeur. Elle est donc un véritable outil destiné à donner la prise de conscience du geste habituellement inconscient, paramètre qui conduira inévitablement le fumeur à restreindre petit-à-petit sa consommation jusqu'alors totalement dénuée de démarche volontaire. To break this automatic gesture, we have designed a manual intervention that materializes the intake of each cigarette. Each time the smoker opens his pack of cigarettes, or a cigarette is handed to him, the invention is there to make him aware of his gesture. This invention will only work thanks to the manual intervention of the smoker. It is therefore a real tool intended to raise awareness of the usually unconscious gesture, a parameter which will inevitably lead the smoker to gradually restrict his consumption until then completely devoid of voluntary approach.

De plus, l'invention lui donnera l'occasion de connaître exactement sa consommation de cigarettes, grâce à un rappel de la consommation du jour, de la semaine, et du mois. Ce simple constat, dont il sera l'acteur, lui insufflera inévitablement un besoin de restreindre une consommation dont il devient maître de par la décision qui s'impose à chaque prise de cigarette, et de par les résultats cumulés qui l'amèneront à la décision volontaire de réduire sa consommation. C'est là le but final de l'invention.In addition, the invention will give him the opportunity to know exactly his consumption of cigarettes, thanks to a reminder of the consumption of the day, the week, and the month. This simple observation, of which he will be the actor, will inevitably instill in him a need to restrict a consumption of which he becomes master by the decision which is imposed on each cigarette intake, and by the cumulative results which will lead him to the voluntary decision to reduce consumption. This is the final aim of the invention.

Selon une première caractéristique, l'invention se présente sous forme d'une surface imprimée. Les faces de cette surface sont imprimées à l'encre à gratter représentant une suite de signes. Ceux-ci sont destinés à être découverts par grattage lors de la prise d'une cigarette. Des cases sont destinées au report de la consommation de chaque jour, et au cumul hebdomadaire et mensuel de ces nombres. According to a first characteristic, the invention is in the form of a printed surface. The faces of this surface are printed in scratch ink representing a series of signs. These are intended to be discovered by scratching when taking a cigarette. Boxes are intended to report the consumption of each day, and the weekly and monthly accumulation of these numbers.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: - la surface imprimée peut se présenter comme un formulaire autocollant apposable sur tout support. According to particular embodiments: - the printed surface can be presented as a self-adhesive form affixable on any support.

- la surface imprimée peut revêtir la forme d'un étui à cigarettes.- the printed surface can take the form of a cigarette case.

- la surface peut être imprimée sur un clip en forme de
U qui pince le paquet de cigarettes sur ses deux faces principales.
- the surface can be printed on a clip in the form of
U which pinches the pack of cigarettes on its two main sides.

- l'encre à gratter peut être remplacée par de petites étiquettes adhésives s'enlevant ou s'ajoutant au gré de la consommation de cigarettes.- the scratching ink can be replaced by small adhesive labels that can be removed or added as the consumption of cigarettes increases.

- Sous une forme plus simple, l'encre à gratter peut être remplacée par de simples emplacements où le fumeur inscrit ses nombres à l'aide d'un crayon ou d'un stylo ou de tout autre moyen d'écriture.- In a simpler form, the scratch-off ink can be replaced by simple places where the smoker enters his numbers using a pencil or a pen or any other writing means.

- la série de signes peut être remplacée par une suite alphabétique.- the series of signs may be replaced by an alphabetical sequence.

- la série de signes peut être remplacée par une suite de nombres.- the series of signs can be replaced by a series of numbers.

- la série de signes peut être remplacée par une série de dessins divers.- the series of signs may be replaced by a series of various designs.

- la série de signes peut être remplacée par une gamme de couleurs différentes.- the series of signs may be replaced by a range of different colors.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une surface imprimée sur laquelle apparaît une suite de signes (1), des nombres dans l'exemple illustré, une zone destinée au report de consommation journalière (2), une autre au report du cumul de consommation hebdomadaire (3), et une dernière au report de la consommation cumulée du mois (4). With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a printed surface on which appears a series of signs (1), numbers in the example illustrated, an area intended for the postponement of daily consumption (2), another for the postponement of the accumulation of weekly consumption (3), and a final one to carry forward the cumulative consumption of the month (4).

La figure 2 illustre l'une des variantes de la forme de 1 invention, la représentant sous forme d'un étui à cigarettes. Les diverses zones décrites sur la figure 1 se retrouvent sur les faces de ce parallélépipède. FIG. 2 illustrates one of the variants of the form of the invention, representing it in the form of a cigarette case. The various zones described in FIG. 1 are found on the faces of this parallelepiped.

Le plus souvent, 1 invention aura, de manière non limitative, les dimensions approximatives d'un paquet de cigarettes, sans qu'elles puissent être ici déterminées de manière précise compte tenu de la diversité des modèles d'emballage de cigarettes. Most often, 1 invention will have, without limitation, the approximate dimensions of a pack of cigarettes, without that they can be determined here precisely taking into account the variety of packaging models of cigarettes.

Le dispositif, selon l'invention, est destiné à capter l'attention du fumeur et à briser l'automatisme de sa gestuelle.  The device according to the invention is intended to capture the attention of the smoker and to break the automatism of his gestures.
