Smoke Free Stats
A free program by Michael Alft.
Given your quit date, your smoking rate,
and the price of a pack of cigarettes, it
shows how many cigarettes you haven't smoked & the
money you've saved. Given some goal (like buying a
new drumkit, or whatever your goal is)
it can tell you when you will save the amount
necessary. Smoke Free Stats can be downloaded from the site above.
Gazoontite
People with allergies and respiratory problems know
how bad it is to be around smokers. Gazoontite sells products
meant to help people breathe easier, such as air filters.
Their focus is on allergy and asthma in general - it includes pollen, environmental
pollutants, and anything that stops you taking a full breath.
(SmokeFree feels that someone who doesn't respect you enough
to stop smoking around you doesn't belong in your home,
and it's also a mistake to think that an air filter will
completely alleviate the effects of second-hand smoke, but
that's another matter. Uh oh, are we ranting?) Meanwhile, if
you're stuck with a smoker, you may want to investigate Gazoontite's
line of products.
