Smoke Free Zone
===============
If you are running the shareware version of this application, it will
time out after 30 days. A full version, as well as other applications
by the same author can be purchased at www.palmgear.com. If you are
running the full release version please do not distribute it further.
This application, SmokeFreeZone, is a helper for people attempting to
quit smoking. To help accomplish this goal the application calculates
information to help motivate the person.
The information is:
* the number of cigarettes not smoked
* the money saved
* life added by not smoking
* total days quit
The life added is calculated using a value of 5 minutes per cigarette
not smoked. There is no accurate value for this, and estimates range
between 5 and 20 minutes, hence the application uses the lowest estimate.
To accurately calculate the number of cigarettes not smoked, the time
and date when smoking stopped, plus the hours the person is awake during
the day is entered allowing an accurate value to be calculated. This
means that whenever the application is viewed it should display a reasonably
accurate number of cigarettes not smoked as the day passed. These values
are saved so they only have to be entered once.
There is a vast amount of information available of quitting smoking on
the World Wide Web, so if you are running low on information or want
some additional encouragement here as some good web sites to visit:
* http://www.quitsmokingsupport.com/
* http://nicotine-anonymous.org/
* http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/
There is also a news group on this topic:
* alt.quit.smoking.support
