Help Quit Smoking: If you are on a plan to quit smoking or lessen the frequency Quitter can be a help to you. Actually Quitter uses Twitter to keep a track of your smoking habits. You need not sign up with Quitter for this. When you smoke a cigarette, just open up your Twitter account and tweet this message:
@iquit 1
Type exactly as shown above. If you smoke three cigarettes type @iquit 3. The number after @iquit is for the number of cigarettes smoked. You can post anytime after you smoke or post once a day mentioning the number of cigarettes you smoked that day.
As you gain control over your smoking habits, you can also write your thoughts about it. Send Quitter a message that doesn’t start with a number. Fox example:
@iquit Haven’t smoked since morning. I think I should have one now.
