If you’ve found it hard to quit, this is a must try
I’ve tried countless times to reduce my smoking and quit. This little device alongside another has been life changing. In a month I have reduced my intake by 80%. It keeps me motivated and accountable. I’m glad I purchased and it was worth it. Quitting smoking is by far the most important thing j can do for my health and this device has helped me. So much to gain And not much to lose. Try it

Borderline 3.5-4 stars. Like the innovative concept though...
First off let me say that I used to smoke cigs everyday for years. Only time I take a “ break” is when I found out I was pregnant ( which is in the very beginning of both pregnancies before 9 weeks). I quit cold turkey both times.There are some things I like about this device and some things I feel could make improvement. I’m not sure the other reviews really used this, or have the issue with smoking. It’s an addiction. If you don’t have the will power or mindset to quit no device will help. Only being realistic. I feel like this device looks kinda like a vape, actually it would be ideal if they made it look more like a cigarette. Instead of holding a real cigarette to ones mouth this could be a substitute providing a placebo effect which can trigger ones brain that they have one on hand even though it does nothing only monitoring carbon monoxide levels as it reads.This also packs a hefty price from the beginning. Even though smoking packs of cigs costs way more down the road. Some folks can’t afford a big price tag upfront like this... payment plan would have to used.I like this has an app, but again only 12 month access. I guess they have high hopes that this will help make you quit within that time frame. Not really sure. Everyone is different and habits are hard to break, but everything is possible.Just my thoughts and 2 cents.

great support and encouragement system
This is a good device to try if you are wanting to stop the habit of smoking. Like anything, it has to be you that wants to stop otherwise no gadget is going to help. Once you have the desire to do so then this is a great supporting device for you. I helped a family member set this up and once that was done it was relatively easy to figure out the rest. Having used similar apps for other things to help simplify my life (baby sleep training, etc), I really liked the same concept for something to help a person stop smoking. Being able to track the time, amount, etc really helps keep you accountable. The family member using this has been using this for over 6 months now and it has helped him cut down drastically from the amount he used to smoke a day, so it is still a win! We are hoping this will help encourage him to be completely nicotine free. From the brief period of setting this up for the family member, I found it easy to use, it was not complicated or confusing. If you have a little bit of tech savvy in you this is very easy to figure out. Even if you don't, it is very easy to learn and figure out. I think this is overall well made, developed, and designed.

No customer support
I've tried for hours to call Pivot. Left messages. No answer and no call back. What's up?

A Motivational Tool
This Pivot program is really for someone who is ready to quit smoking, and likes to visually see their progress. It doesn't help with the physical aspects of addiction, but is more a motivational tool. It reminds me of trying to lose weight and recording one's progress on a weight loss app. It's fun and motivating.You get a small tracker for detecting your breath carbon monoxide levels, which connects to your phone wirelessly. The app is easy to get in the app store. If you haven't bought this kit, it looks like you can access a 14 day free trial, so this might be a good way to explore what can be done before spending any money.You can tailor the app to your liking, in order to get the kind of feedback and guidance that works best for your situation. There are "games" and challenges, such as trying to go X amount of time without smoking. You still need discipline, though, so you need to be committed to making a change. You can also talk to other people who are trying to quit, if that's your thing.The only slight negative is you only get 12 months of access to the program. For $149, it should be lifetime support.

Great Motivation
Quitting smoking is probably one of the hardest habits to break. Any help you can get is great. This system kind of combines rewards and therapy. The sensor helps you track your levels so you get positive reinforcement when you smoke less. There's also access to an interactive community to share the journey with others. It's okay to get help when you need it. It doesn't make you weak, it makes you smart. Good luck!!!Thanks so much for taking the time to read this review. I hope the information that I've provided helps make your decision a little easier.

Give motivation
I got this for my mother who is in the process of quitting smoking. Hopefully this will help her succeed. This is supposed to show your progress. I did like the fact that it is FDA cleared. It has a visual reading to help people better understand. By this I mean you can see the CO2 on the little person. My mom likes checking her levels and seeing her progress, it gives her motivation. She does know about the access to the interactive community but she is shy so she does not use that feature. The application can be customized to what fits your needs. The motivation that this gives her alone is worth the price. She likes the challenges that you can do like no smoking for X amount of time. I think this will be a big help for anyone willing to give it a try and stop smoking. My mom is not tech savvy and has been able to use it.
