For 60 dollars and it can only be used twice ? I had the original I still smoke. Nuff said.

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.

This product works as advertised and will work for some smokers. However, I found it difficult to stay with the program. You still have to have the drive, motivation, and desire to quit by following the program. My Doctor advised me I had three weeks to quit smoking and quit caffiene! I ended up retiring the device and used Nicotine Snus to quit.
Cons: The alarm notification needs to be much louder or must be clipped to your belt loop so you can hear when it’s time to smoke. If you cheat too much, the device starts your next day at the previous level.
Please note: The device only allows you to use it’s program twice and then you will have to purchase a replacement.

I used the original Lifesign Computer to quit smoking in 1989 and have not gone back to smoking. I was a pack and half a day smoker and I smoked for 14 years. Lifesign is a brilliant tool to stop smoking for good. It takes care of the physical addiction without chemicals, by incrementally increasing your time between cigarettes over a period of 2 – 4 weeks, depending on your habit. Because you need to smoke your cigarette as close to the time that the beeper goes off as possible, you are forced to experience situations where you would normally have a cigarette, without one, such as talking on the phone, with a drink, etc. Similarly, you might be required to get up in the middle of working to have a cigarette when you typically would not have one. This combination works on the psychological addiction because it shows you that indeed you can make it through a cigarette-related experience without the cigarette and this memory helps you later on when the program is over. What a boost to your self-confidence! After I quit, I recommended Lifesign to 4 friends. They ALL stopped smoking as well.
I believe Lifesign is a wonderful tool for anyone smoker that is ready to quit. I have not seen it in the stores for many, many years and did not think it still existed. I did a computer search and am thrilled to find it does, because I will be ordering it for my boyfriend as soon as I finish this review. If this is the “new, improved version” of Lifesign then the only thing I can say is don’t hesitate — this is a magnificent, effective product.
