The Electronic-Cigarette that tells you how long you will LIVE

A company based in Paris has released a ‘smart’ e-cigarette that they say can predict a user's life expectancy.The Smokio device connects to a smartphone app and tracks your usage, giving the user updates on both their health and finances over time.The company says the device will not only save smokers money, but it’ll also help them give up on real cigarettes.


Inside the Smokio e-cigarette is a small microchip that transmits data to an app available for both Android and iOS.
The e-cigarette is linked to a smartphone by Bluetooth in order to transfer information.

Users can then view statistics over the last 30 days to see what their vaping - the term given to breathing nicotine-infused e-cigarette liquid - habits are.
The device costs €80 (£65; $80) and includes a 900 mAh battery, which can hold about seven hours of charge.

The electronic 'brain' of the device lets a user track usage and check their vaping history.

When they smoke it monitors their usage and trends, telling them when and where they've vaped using GPS technology.

It also shows users the equivalent consumption that would be smoked with cigarettes.

The app then reveals to a smoker how their health would differ if they had continued smoking.

This includes things such as blood oxygenation levels, taste and smell, lung capacity and heart rejuvenation.

Through this information the app then estimates how many days the user has added to their life expectancy.

‘This is based on data taken from the American Cancer Society,’ Johan Collet of Smokio explains to MailOnline.

‘This takes into account your age and how much you smoke. It’s a catalyst taking into account all of the things that will improve your health.’

This then gives an estimate for how many extra days a smoker is adding to their life expectancy by switching tobacco for vaping.

‘The Bluetooth microchip in the battery collects data from when you take a puff,’ continues Collet.

‘This includes the time of the puff, intensity of the puff and all things like that.
‘It then stores and transmits it to your smartphone where calculations are performed and spit out in more readable form.’

The effects of e-cigarettes are still largely unknown, with various agencies such as the US Food and Drug administration currently performing studies.

A study in the journal Addiction last month, however, found that 20 per cent of nearly 6,000 smokers quit smoking with the help of e-cigarettes.
