Last summer 2005 I decided to quit smoking. So I purchased the QuitKey. It is very easy to use. Actually for once in my life I could always find my car keys!! I followed the plan it was easy. I am now going into my 9th month of not smoking. I have not had one single drag off a cigarette. I also don't have a craving for one. After 30 years of cigarettes being a ball and chaing I am free from them!

My husband bought this product for me as a Valentine's present in 1991. It was extremely easy to use. I smoked normally for seven days and and every time I had a cigarette, I pushed a button on the computer. After seven days, the computer calculated how long it would take me to quit smoking, and it would beep when it was time for me to have a cigarette. My family, friends and co-workers always asked "How long before your next cigarette?". I smoked my last cigarette at 2:00 p.m. on March 15, 1991 (the Ides of March!) and I've been smoke free ever since. This year I celebrated being smoke free for 15 years!

I got the original LifeSign as a present back in December of 2002. I had smoked for 10 years by then and was finally ready to quit. I wasn't a really heavy smoker, but smoked a consistent 10 cigs a day for 10 years (with more on weekends and at outings). I never tried to quit before LifeSign and was simply AMAZED at how well it worked. The beauty of this product is that it addresses both physical and mental sides of the smoking addiction. It weans you off physically by increasing the intervals between your cigarettes and it breaks your mental patterns by not letting you smoke at your usual pattern, but rather at scheduled times. That really breaks the craving pattern! And the whole thing is CUSTOMIZED directly to you, vs a standard fits-all approach of other programs. And it does NOT use any drugs!!! It's completely natural! The little machine calculates your patterns and the strength of addiction (how many cigs you smoke) and then comes up with the program tailored to just you. It even allows for "cheating"! If you can't follow the quitting program and keep cheating, all you have to do is keep pressing that button when you smoke, and the machine will adjust your program! To make a long story short, it took me 19 days to quit a 10 year old habit! 7 days for recording my patterns and 12 to quit. Since I quit I have not had a cigarette in over three years! I can't recommend this product highly enough!
This will change your life for the better and the new health you will acquire is priceless!

After 30 years of developing a cigarette addiction to the tune of up to 2 packs a day I decided to give it up about 20 years ago. I tried to "wean" myself off by limiting the number of cigarettes I smoked in a day. I would set out my daily supply & every day I would remove 2 smokes. After about a few days I gave it up. I would smoke my allotment as I normally would & would then spend the remaining time suffering withdrawal symptoms. It did nothing for the physiological side of quitting. It was basically a form of cold turkey. If I could find a "timer" or some such to do the same thing but in a more orderly fashion that would be great. Well, I came across lifesigns(the original). Sounded exactly what I was looking for. I ordered two, one for me & one for my wife. She resisted......said it wouldn't work, too difficult. And for her she was right. She played with it for a few days & tossed it aside. She still smokes & is now my ex( nothing to do with smoking). I kept with the program & haven't smoked a cigarette since the last day. I will however, on my deathbed, while looking at the light at the end of the tunnel, smoke one last cigarette. Yes I get the occasional craving. But after all these years of being an ex-smoker they're not a problem anymore. If there weren't so many negatives(cost,health,addiction,social stigma,inconvenience, etc.)I would take it up again as for awhile I did enjoy smoking. But the negatives far out-way the few benefits. One thing on lifesigns the program is not as easy as you may be led to believe, But is easier than I actually thought it would be. I would recommend this program only if you're serious about quitting. As far as the actual product the original Lifesign worked as advertised, it did the job. I can only think the new improved quitkey is just as good or better, just don't get it confused with your remote starter fob. I also think this new one is only about as much as I paid for the original so its still a bargain compared to the thousands I saved by giving up a nasty habit.

The user can olny reset this product once, and after that (two 31 day cycles)it does not work, battery or not.

It seems to add a small amount to the interval it allows between cigarettes, instead of developing any relation to the user's pattern.

I don't think that it is worth the money.

A positive experience.

I regained controll over my life 22 years ago when I used the orig. lifesign. The program was great, easy to follow, and even forgave me twice when I fell off the wagon. I have recommended life sign to anyone who has mentioned they would like to quit smoking cigs.

I smoked anywhere from a pack to pack and a half per day for about 12 years. I was seriously at the mercy of an addiction and could do nothing about it. As the years passed I realized I slept with an ashtray next to the bed so I could light up even before my feet hit the floor in the morning. I attempted to break the habit twice on my own unsuccessfully before I purchased life sign. I recall reading ahead in the manual when I first received the product in the mail and at one point read I would go 4 days in bewteen smokes. I remeber thinking yeah right, I can't go 2 hours let alone 4 days. I tell you the time came there was a 4 day interval and I did not miss smoking at all... wow!

The best experience of my life was hearing the little tune play the very last time I pressed the button. It took me by surprise, I felt as if I was losing a friend as I stared at my very last smoke. That is he happiest memory I have of smoking... all the rest... not so much.

Good luck in your quest to quit, you will not regret the decision.

My mother and I used the original LifeSigns product in 1989. She used the first cycle. She was smoking 3 to 4 packs of cigarettes a day when she quit. I used the second cycle and I was smoking 1.5 to 2 packs a day. She remained smoke free until her death in 2001. I think quitting added a few extra years to her life. I remain smoke free and now hate the smell of cigarettes. I wish I had never started. Unfortunately, I gained more than 5 lbs. after quitting. I recommend that anyone using this product have a good diet plan in place before quitting. Quitting was one of the hardest things I've ever done but I really feel that I did the right thing. I highly recommend this product.

I have smoked since I was 14 years old. For the past year, I've been trying to quit and I haven't been able to find a suitable method. I've tried the gum, the patch, the cold turkey syndrome...everything. Until, I came across QuitKey. I figured...it's just another tool, but at this rate, I'll try anything. So, I bought it and I got the hang of it after a few days. It's a great tool since it allows you to tell it how much you are smoking and then it will tell you when to smoke and when not to smoke. It's relative to the Pavlovs Dog's Theory. Everytime you hear the chime go off in the program you are supposed to smoke. After about 34 days, the chime never goes off again and you don't think twice about smoking. It's a great tool since the chime isn't like any other chime out there. I would recommend this product to anyone who has been trying to quit smoking forever just like I have been. Give it a shot!

I HAVE USED LIFESIGN WAY BACK & IT WORK'S WELL,,,,THIS ONE IS MUCH EASIER TO USE & CARRY BUT LET ME TELL YOU , SMOKING IS HARD TO STOP & THIS GADGET WILL WORK IF YOU HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO FOLLOW THE PROGRAM,,,, IM HAVING TO START STAGE 2 OVER & I WOULD SUGGEST MAKING SURE YOU HAVE A STRESS FREE MONTH TO USE THIS - MAYBE SOME KIND OF NICOTINE GUM WOULD HELP,,,ONLY BAD THING IS THIS CAN ONLY BE USED 1 TIME THEN ITS WORTHLESS & FOR THE MONEY I THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE IT AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES,,,,,GOOD LUCK

I bought this QuitKey for my husband. He has been trying everything to stop smoking and nothing was helping. I bought him this QuitKey and he started it just a week ago and it's been a big help to him. So far he is on his 2nd week and he is finally sticking to something and it's helping him. This LifeSign QuitKey is the best thing. If there are more people out there who want to quit smoking then they should buy this QuitKey because it works.
