Idea
Create an app to help smokers quit and stay smoke free.
Solution
Built an app that encourages, distracts and charts a smoker’s journey to a tobacco-free life. The app lets smoker’s set goals and record how many times they smoke or have the urge to smoke in a day. Users can list “danger zones” where tobacco is sold nearby and can get friendly notifications to curb any tempations. The app also provides a buddies list, where the user can call upon in times of need. Lastly, the app is a constant reminder of the health and financial benefits associated with quitting smoking.
