Abstract
The current invention discloses an inexpensive, easy to use anti-smoking device. The device has an elongated strip having a center portion, a first arm, and second arm along the elongated strip, and a center piece that is attached to the center portion of the elongated strip. The first arm and second arm of the elongated strip can be wrapped around the center piece to attach to the center piece, forming two loops that allow two fingers of the person trying to quit smoking to engage the anti-smoking device. The center piece is to be stuck between two fingers, preferably the fingers the person trying to quit smoking normally uses to clutch cigarettes. The center piece is sized so that two fingers cannot be held close enough to clutch a cigarette.
Claims17
An anti-smoking device, comprising:
- an elongated strip having a center portion, a first arm, and second arm along the elongated strip, wherein the strip has an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface and inner surface being shared by the center portion, the first arm, and the second arm;
- a flexible center piece having an upper side, a lower side, a left side, a right side, a front side, a back side with each of the sides defining a cavity therebetween,
- wherein the front side is attached to the inner surface of the center portion of the elongated strip, and
- wherein the left side and the right side of the flexible center piece are concave in shape;
- wherein the first arm and second arm of the elongated strip can be wrapped around the flexible center piece to attach to the flexible center piece thereby forming a first loop and a second loop that allow two adjacent human fingers to engage the first loop and the second loop respectively, and
- wherein the flexible center piece is positioned between the first loop and the second loop and sized such that the two adjacent human fingers cannot be held close enough to clutch a cigarette.
