There is nothing more difficult than quitting smoking, therefore, to fight this addiction, you need to receive external support that can come from someone or from electronics. In these difficult years, the main push against smoking is not so much the fact of the high risk of lung cancer but rather the large amount of money that cigarettes cost.
Smoking is expensive, so thinking about how much money you can save is probably the biggest motivation.
Having an Android smartphone or an iPhone in your hand or pocket also becomes useful for quitting smoking .
