A biofeedback device comprising:
- an inlet for receiving exhaled breath from a user's mouth;
- a determiner physically associated with a device housing, the determiner configured to determine when the exhaled breath is received by the inlet;
- a reporter associated with the determiner, the reporter configured to determine an actual exhalation duration of the exhaled breath and to provide a signal to the user;
- and
- a dispenser configured to dispense an inhalable substance to the user,
- wherein the signal comprises a comparison of the actual exhalation duration to a preferred exhalation duration.

- a determiner physically associated with a device housing, the determiner configured to determine when the exhaled breath is received by the inlet;
- a reporter associated with the determiner, the reporter configured to:
- determine an actual exhalation duration of the exhaled breath,
- compare the actual exhalation duration to a preferred exhalation duration, and
- provide a signal to the user indicating whether the actual exhalation duration is less than, substantially equal to, or greater than the preferred exhalation duration;
- and
- a one-way valve configured to:
- allow passage of the exhaled breath from the inlet through the outlet, and
- prevent inhalation of air from the outlet through the inlet.
