Smoking methods
Minutes, not counts: why duration tells you more
Updated 10/8/2026
Counting a cigar and a cigarette as “one” each distorts any statistic. That's why Smoke with me counts minutes.
The problem with counts
Counting units compares apples and oranges: one evening shisha session can last longer than ten cigarette breaks combined.
Minutes as a common unit
Session duration works the same for every type, making days, weeks and methods comparable.
Leaderboards per type
In the app you can filter the leaderboard by type; minutes are counted. The default, though, is the smoke-free days leaderboard – because not smoking should pay off. You can opt out of leaderboards in settings.
