元器件交易網訊 5月13日消息，據外媒報道，美國眾籌網站Kickstarter上出現了一款名為Quitbit的打火機，該產品可以追蹤每天吸煙數量，并有線上社區供煙民交流。
Quitbit看起來和一般的Zippo打火機差不多，區別在于擁有一塊LED屏幕。它可以記錄每天用戶吸煙的數量和上一次點煙的時間，這些數字足以讓吸煙者警惕。更有意思的是它可以同智能手機配對，追蹤吸煙者長期的吸煙數據，用戶可以在線上社區設定目標、分享達標的喜悅，甚至可以記錄使用期間吸煙者省下了多少錢。
該設備可以幫助吸煙者量化吸煙習慣，但不會完全取代傳統打火機——Quitbit是電驅動的。（元器件交易網毛毛 譯）
以下為原文：
Ask any smoker: quitting is hard.Cigarettes become a part of your daily life, a habit that's not only hard tobreak, but hard to keep track of. "Tracking is one of the most importantfactors in one's health," Ata Ghofrani told us at a recent Haxlr8r event."Being cognizant of our smoking behavior." Ghofrani and his partner,Kuji Nakano were looking for a way to track and reduce their smoking behavior,but found most health apps were dedicated to promoting positive behavior, notreducing negative ones. They soon teamed up to create Quitbit: a cigarettelighter that keeps track of how much you smoke.
At a glance, the Quitbit looks an awful lotlike a regular Zippo-style lighter, albeit a Zippo with a screen. This smallLED display (pictured above on an early prototype) runs a tally of how manycigarettes you smoke each day and how long it's been since you last lit up.This data alone is enough to give smokers some accountability, but it can domore. A companion smartphone app can be used to track the data over longerperiods of time, set goals, share successes with an online community and eventrack how much money smokers have saved from cutting back. The lighter can alsobe programmed not to work for extended periods -- forcing smokers to cut backto a set amount of cigarettes each day.
It's a neat device for smokers looking toquantify their habit, but it won't completely replace your traditional lighter:the gizmo is all-electric, meaning it uses a coiled heating element instead ofthe usual flame. Still, if you're looking to put a number on your oralfixation, check out the product's Kickstarter page: it just launched.
