 - Help for people wanting to quit smoking The present invention relates to a device for quitting smoking cigarettes, without substitute, Based on the volunteering of the user.

The device includes an electromechanical system coupled to a cigarette case (all types of cigarettes).

r g Du fumeur. The principle of this system allows you to stop smoking, gradually, by managing your consumption

rg From the smoker.

The electronic circuit board integrated in a box includes: -A clock displaying, date, hour, minute and day.

-An instruction to take the first cigarette in the morning (eg 7HOO.

-An instruction for the last evening cigarette intake (ex. 23HOO.

-A daily consumption instruction (ex. 40.

From these three instructions, the electronic program counts the time between the first and last cigarette intake and divides this total by daily consumption.

Or, depending on your exemption: First 7HOO cigarette, last 11:00 p.m. difference = 4:00 p.m. or 960mn.

960 minutes divided by daily consumption 40 = 24 minutes.

Every 7 days, the program automatically subtracts a unit from the Daily Consumption setpoint (eg from 40 goes to 39) and redoes its calculation as in the 1st cycle (eg: 960 divided by 39 = 25. 6min) so on all the weeks.

Mechanical effects of this system: After the first cigarette hold, by closing the box, a mechanical closing of the latter and a countdown are started simultaneously, allowing to know at any time The next opening of the box.

After the countdown, we deactivate the mechanical closing system of the case allowing the opening. The countdown display remains at zero.

After taking a second cigarette, the closing and countdown system is automatically reactivated, and so on, until the last catch of the day.

Between the last cigarette hold (eg 23 hours) and the first hold (eg 7:00 am) the box remains mechanically closed.

minutes pendant une durée de 7 jours. r La l ère semaine, consommation 40 cigarettes jours, soit 1 cigarette toutes les 24 mn. The smoker adhering to this solution cannot consume more than one cigarette every 24

minutes for a period of 7 days. r The first week, consumption 40 cigarettes days, or 1 cigarette every 24 minutes.

2nd week, 39 cigarettes a day, or 1 every 24.6 min.

 3rd week, 38 cigarettes a day, or 1 every 25.3 min.

4th week, 37 cigarettes a day, or 1 every 25.9 min.
