Abstract: The smoking elimination guidance system of the invention, which is preferably incorporated in a cigarette lighter, includes a timer which is responsive to each operation of the cigarette lighter automatically to initiate a new predetermined timing period during which only a single cigarette is to be smoked. Indicator means visible on the outside of the cigarette lighter indicate to the user when the end of the current timing period is reached. Timing period modifying means are provided for automatically at various times progressively increasing the timing period initiated by the operation of the cigarette lighter, such as by a predetermined fixed percentage. Before the timer starts into operation, a smoking elimination program suitable to the user is selected automatically during a measurement period when the user's cigarette smoking rate is determined.
