Vaping Counter - any with a tally of Tar and CO avoided ?

[jdh5484]

Does anyone know if there are counters available that give the Tar and CO avoided along with the days and money saved? To me the real motivator to get off analogs was all the crap in regular cigs but especially the Tar and CO.

Thanks in advance!

Not a bad idea. You may be the first to think of it.

EXAMPLE:
Smoke Free for 17 Days - Avoided .34 oz Tar, .29 oz CO, 680 cigs

Someone here has to be a computer code geek!

 

[jdh5484]

Anyone? Anyone?

 

[jdh5484]

Guess not.

It's not the lack of HTML skill that holding the thing back; it's that the thing would have to know the tar & CO numbers for every brand of cigarette in creation.

...unless the banner-user knows the numbers and could put them in a form.

This is what I was thinking. If someone could come up with something where the user just inputs the mg of Tar and CO per cig of his/her brand. Then it's up to the user to find the info first (google).

So where you input the # of cigs per day, you also input mg Tar/cig and MG CO/cig. Then it's just multiplying the Tar * # cigs and you have mg of tar avoided per day. Actually, the program would need to use GRAMS, not milligrams since the number would get pretty big.

Example for me:
34 days smoke free
1,360 cigarettes avoided
19.6 grams of Tar avoided (19,600 mg)
16.8 grams of CO avoided (16,800 mg)

that would be awesome, can any1 here do this ?!?!?!

 

[jdh5484]

It seems like someone on this board would know how to do this? Come on people!

 

[jdh5484]

I know there is someone here that can make up this counter. I'll keep bumping until I find him/her.

Most counters already have a place for the costs savings. You input the costs per day and then the thing calc total costs. So the EXACT same algorithm/code can be used for the tar and CO (just change the wording).

Input: Date quit, cigs per day, grams Tar per day*, grams CO per day*

* grams (Tar,CO) per cig can be found by googling your brand - then just multiply the g/cigs x cigs/day.

Example for me:

34 days smoke free
1,360 cigarettes avoided
19.6 grams of Tar avoided (19,600 mg)
16.8 grams of CO avoided (16,800 mg)

 

[jdh5484]

Bump.

34 days smoke free
1,360 cigarettes avoided
19.6 grams of Tar avoided (19,600 mg)
16.8 grams of CO avoided (16,800 mg)

If someone can build this sig-generator, I'll gladly host it on my domain for free with no ads and properly credit the author/creator.

Just throwin' it out there in case a lack of domain/host is holding up the creative process.

I'll play around with it. I can do it, it will have to be a java servlet or jsp.

 

[Chalie_Champ]

how about doing one that you can put the counter on your own background?

 

[jmanning]

Scottitude, are you running a servlet container, tomcat, etc?

 

[jdh5484]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about...but it sounds like you can do it??? If so, I'm sure there are plenty of others that will appreciate also!

34 days smoke free
1,360 cigarettes avoided
19.6 grams of Tar avoided (19,600 mg)
16.8 grams of CO avoided (16,800 mg)

 

[jmanning]

I have it written but need a place to host it. I can't host it at my work without permission from someone who is on vacation until next week.

 

[Scottitude]

I'm not currently running a servlet container and I'm not sure I personally know how. I'm learning as I go and may not be quite there yet!

I could certainly allow you admin access if it's more than I can handle.
