Editorial Reviews

QuitKey alters your smoking routine and eases you off cigarettes gradually. QuitKey reminds you when to smoke and when not to smoke. Step by step. Hour by hour. One day at a time. The QuitKey approach to quit smoking culminates 20 years of research. It was developed and proven effective with grants from the National Institutes of Health and builds on the enormous success of LifeSign, a first generation smoking cessation computer that uses the same gradual reduction technology. QuitKey works in two stages. Stage 1 (7 days): You smoke at your normal rate and use the QuitKey smoke button to record every cigarette you smoke. QuitKey uses this information to form your personal quit plan. Stage 2 (14 to 34 days): QuitKey helps you follow your quit plan by prompting you when to smoke. Each day you smoke less and gradually reduce you nicotine dependence while preparing yourself to quit for good.

After 30 Years I Am Smoke Free - K. Cook on Apr 21, 2006 I Like

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!

Smoke Free For 15 Years - Gary Tremper "Barbar on Apr 20, 2006 I Like

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!

Quit After 10 Years Of Smoking And Never Had A Cigarette Since!!! - Helen on Jun 7, 2006 I Like

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!

Does The Job. - C. A. Freeman on Jan 3, 2010 I Like

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.

It Might Work - M. Hanlon "Marty Han on Jul 2, 2007 I Like

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.

YES.... You Can Stop The Controll The Cancer Stick Has Over You Currently - J. Descoteau on Jan 7, 2010 I Like

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 Mom Quit After 40 Years And I Quit After 15 Years Of Smoking - S. Smith on Jan 2, 2008 I Like

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.

QuitKey Is The Most Innovative Product On The Market For Quitters! - Ariel Weiner "Health on Aug 21, 2006 I Like

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!

TUFF - fly on Jan 23, 2011 I Like

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

It's Great - Janice Page "camperg on Jul 30, 2006 I Like

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.

It Could Work... - Benjamin J. Jackson on Nov 19, 2008 I Like

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 To Quit - M. Galbreath on Apr 4, 2007 I Like

I used the Original LifeSign to quit smoking about 15 years ago. It worked like a charm. If this is the improved model I can only say that you would be foolish not to use this product. Like any "stop smoking" aid, you have to be ready to quit for it to be successful. Having made the decision, this aid will give the very best chance of carrying through with your decision. Follow the instructions and in a month you will be cigarette free. Good luck!

BEST THING EVER! - A. French "love to d on Jun 6, 2011 I Like

I used this 10 years ago after smoking 20 plus years and trying all the other quite smoking avenues, patch, gum etc...I have no will power and it was the only thing that worked for me. I will forever be greatly to the genius that invented this life saver!

IT WORKS!!! - JOHN S. on Feb 25, 2011 I Like

I used a similar product years ago called Lifesign (or Lifestyle... or something). I'm happy to say it worked and I'm still smoke free. When a friend of mine decided to quit smoking I found QuitKey. He went through the entire program and is now 4 months smoke-free after 30 years of smoking! He admits he still has cravings every now and then, a known fact to anyone who has quit, but they aren't to the point where he actually wants to start again. This program "weans" you off the addiction a little at a time to make it a lot easier. When you are use to smoking every 15 minutes and you suddenly realize you are going an hour, or 2 hours between cigarettes it motivates you to continue. You will be so proud of yourself you will be telling your family, your friends, maybe ever strangers you meet waiting for the bus!

It makes a great gift so buy one for yourself and someone you love.

TIP: You can't stop smoking until you are ready. So buy this when you are ready and use it! It works! You can to do this just like millions of new non-smokers have.

Lifesign Success Story 21 Years Later - Daniel A. Corbin on Jan 11, 2011 I Like

21 years ago, as I sat looking into an ashtray, I wondered how much of that garbage was ending up in my lungs. I was a pack and a half a day smoker, with a pack being smoked whenever I was in a bar. I had heard of Lifesign and decided to look into it. At the time, the cost was about $90 dollars, which was a fair amount of money. It was a logical way to stop smoking and that is what appealed to me. It actually tapers you off, and after smoking for 23 years, I was done in 18 days! Very simple, and that was the best money I have ever spent. I would highly recommend this method to anyone that wants to quit, AND save themselves a LOT of money in the process. The new Quitkey is actually cheaper now than it was in 1990, by about $30. Remember: You are the only one that can make yourself stop smoking. You have to want to, and this is the most successful way I have ever heard of. Just ask me!

Probably Not For Working People. - Tori on Oct 30, 2010 I Like

I know a few people who had success with this and quit smoking, permanently. After the first week, it has learned when you smoke. For the next three weeks, it tells you when you can smoke. At my job, I can't always choose when I can take a smoke break...or I may be in the middle of cooking dinner at home. Didn't work for me.

LifeSign Quit Key - Mr. David R. Scott " on Oct 18, 2010 I Like

Worked for me. I was a smoker for 22 years, coming up to year 4 as a non-smoker, tried this, more because it was a gadget than I wanted to quit. It works, only had 1 bad day, day 25 but to be honest it wasn't that bad. I did put on weight after I quit but to be honest, that was my fault (treating myself for not smoking). I recommended this to my brother, a month later, he had also quit.

LIFESIGN HELPED US QUIT FOR OVER 20 YEARS - Leslie Winthrop "L. on Oct 9, 2009 I Like

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.

Disappointed - Danielle "Danielle" on Feb 12, 2007 I Like

After only 2 days of use my QuitKey started having problems. When it came time for the QuitKey to beep and tell me when to smoke..It never beeped! I think for $60.00 it was cheaply made, and that's to bad as I think it would of been a good tool to help smokers quit. I would not recommend this product.

LifeSign Or A New Beginning! - fish_more on Mar 15, 2011 I Like

I had used an older version during the early 90's with great success and after several years I gave in to that just one. When I made my decission to quit it took several hours on the internet, but, was I happy to find this newer model available. Am in the program at present and very pleased with the ease of letting go of 2 pks. a day average..

Worked For Me - sanman4ever on Jul 19, 2010 I Like

I used this product back in 1994 and I've been smoke free ever since. Haven't cheated once and never looked back. For the first week I smoked as I normally would and pressed a button on the unit. After the first week the unit then, based on my smoking habits told ME when to smpke gradually cutting me down. I beleive it took me 28 days to quit. Yes I was a very heavy smoker. A pack a day person.

Lastly during the quitting phase smoke a different type of cigarette, something that you wouldn't usually smoke. For me I smoked Marlboro, while quiting I swithed to my grand fathers brand.

LESS ANXIOUS - less anxious on May 12, 2010 I Like

I have used this product before 16 years ago and remained smoke free for over 2 years. I was so glad to find it again because the pills or the patch gave me severe reactions. I am like everyone else in this world with lots of stress, but if you follow the program, you will feel less anxious about the process. Anyone can do it if I can.

Bear-table - Betty Gustman "Bear- on Aug 1, 2009 I Like

[[ASIN:B000EY3IUG LifeSign QuitKey Smoking Cessation C
omputer]] It is convient and easy to understand. The only problem is that it can be turned off or on if it is hanging on the key chain in your purse. I have had this happen to me a few times. Otherwise it will work if you can stick to the program that is set up for it.

Just A Suggestion... - Julz on Aug 12, 2011 I Like

I'm looking at purchasing this item to help me quit smoking. I think there is a higher success rate for those who wean themselves rather that quit cold turkey and I also believe that its not such a shock to your system if you are weaned off. Not many people think about it, but imagine what a shock it is to your body and cells when you quit cold turkey! At any rate, I would like to see this product come with an option for the length of the weaning. For example, it would be nice if you could choose between 1 month, 2 months or 3 months and then it could accomodate for that length of time. I'm not sure 3 weeks is enough time. You don't start off smoking 2 packs a day and you don't get that bad within a month. I just think it would be better to have more time to get used to the reduced nicotine level to increase your chances of staying quit. Maybe they can make a product that can do that.

Lifesign Doesn't Work - Brewster on Dec 29, 2007 I Like
