Finally, the lighter can also work on its own, there is no need to connect it to the smartphone. However, it is no longer possible to access certain functions.

A unique lighter

Unlike other lighters, the quitbit does not require butane or gas. Indeed the object has a heating element which allows you to light cigarettes like a cigarette lighter.

So the lighter works with a battery of one one week autonomy (or about 100 cigarettes) and only requires 2 hours to be completely charge using a USB port.

In addition, it will be more difficult to lose. If the bluetooth connection between the lighter and the smartphone is lost, a notification is then sent to the phone.

The application associated with the lighter also allows the user to be able to quit smoking with the help of other people. By sharing their data, everyone shares their experience with others. This sharing of data could also be used to inform a tobacco specialist of the progress of his patients.
