Challenge

A large proportion of smokers aspire to quit, yet they frequently encounter recurring challenges and patterns that make cessation difficult. To assist in this process, various apps and devices are available to monitor cigarette usage, helping users gain better awareness of their smoking habits and tendencies.

Solution

In partnership with Loft, Quitbit has crafted a digital ecosystem tailored to meet a variety of user needs along the journey to quitting smoking. The ecosystem combines a smart lighter with a connected app to help users gradually cut down on smoking. Key features such as Smart Tracking, Lost Mode, and Seamless Sync transform the device from an ordinary lighter into a persistent companion, designed to support and facilitate smoking reduction.

Outcome

By utilizing their expertise in regulated ecosystems, Loft skillfully crafted a compelling digital and physical experience. The app fosters social interaction among those trying to quit smoking, gradually steering users away from the habit. This approach effectively blends community support with technology to facilitate smoking cessation.
