Title:
LIGHTER AND METHOD FOR MONITORING SMOKING BEHAVIOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/009903
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A lighter (10) and a method for monitoring smoking behavior include a lighter (10) having a housing (11) and a lockable lighting element (16) secured to the housing (11). A smoking reduction plan includes smoking reduction goals specific to the user of the lighter (10), such as a maximum number of daily cigarettes, and a time interval between cigarette smoking events. The user operates a trigger (19) to activate the lighting element (16) to light a cigarette. When the lighting element (16) is activated for a sufficient duration of time, the lighter (10) records a smoking event. A microprocessor (200) is configured for controlling the operation of the lighting element (16). When the elapsed time since the most recent smoking event is less than the target smoking interval, or when a user has reached the maximum daily cigarette limit, the microprocessor (200) may optionally render the lighting element (16) inoperable.
