Many apps are developed for BlackBerry devices every day and a large percentage of them are completely useless. But here are 5 BlackBerry apps that have been designed to help you to quit smoking. Each app endorses its own strategy and techniques to help the user to gradually quit smoking.

No Smoking (5 out of 5)

The No Smoking application is one that is designed to help anyone who wants to quit to kick the habit. It aims to slowly minimize the number of smokes that you have during a given day. The app has two modes; the initial one is the learning mode that allows you to find out exactly how many smokes you have daily along with the amount of money that you spend on them. Once you have fully grasped the severity of your addiction, you can move on to the actual quitting mode. When you have entered this mode, the app will provide you with a tailor fitted quitting schedule based on the information that it received from you during the learning process. The best thing about this app is that it provides you with enough time to gradually quit smoking; it does not have a short 3 phase routine like the patches do.
