AR Lungs is a free to use web service that is meant to discourage smokers from smoking. The website tries to show a human being’s lungs being affected after long term smoking. Augmented reality is employed to have a person position himself in front of a webcam and visualize his lungs. You can then set the daily number of cigarettes smoked along with the number of years somebody has been smoking. You will see the color and condition of the lungs changing accordingly. The final sight will hopefully discourage any smoker from continuing his habit.

Features:

• A user-friendly web service.
• Discourages smokers from smoking.
• Employs augmented reality through your webcam.
• Factors in daily smoked cigarettes and number of years a person smoked.
• Similar tools: FixNixer, WeQuit and Qwitter.

To get your own quitting program, you just need to register and input details regarding your smoking habit. This includes the frequency of your smoking habit, your reasons for wanting to quit, the time you usually use cigarettes, your reasons for smoking, your alternative activities for smoking, and a quit date. Then users must visit the site daily and report whether they smoked for that day in a journal entry. The website will track your daily progress as you proceed to your quitting date.
