Cigarette & Vape Counter: frequently asked questions

Here are honest answers to what people ask before and after installing Cigarette & Vape Counter, including the parts it doesn't do.

Is the app free, and what do you get with the paid version?
It is free to download, with ads that start after the first 7 days. Everything for counting, prices, the timer, the spacing goal, reduction plans, craving tools, widgets and CSV export is free. Premium removes banner and full-screen ads, opens up history and statistics older than 7 days, adds Trigger Analysis and refills one streak shield per month. Reduction plans are not a paid feature: they are free for everyone.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. There is no email, no profile and no cloud. Your entries stay on your phone. The free version does load Google ads, which, like any ad network, may use device identifiers; your log is not shared with them.
Does it work offline?
All tracking works offline: logging, costs, timer, stats, plans and CSV export. Only buying or restoring Premium and loading ads in the free version need an internet connection.
Can I track cigarettes, vape or both?
Any of the three. Pick Cigarettes, Vape or Both under Tracking Mode in Settings. In Both mode each type has its own count, time-since-last timer and price.
Does it count vape puffs automatically?
No. You tap +1 for each puff (or +5, or a custom number). The app does not pair with any vape and cannot read the puff counter shown on some disposables.
Will it make me quit smoking?
No app can do that for you. It shows you the number, the cost and the time since your last one, and it can set a daily target that drops gradually. It is a tracker, not a treatment, so talk to a doctor or a stop-smoking service if you want to quit.
How accurate is the Money Saved figure?
Treat Money Saved as a rough motivator, not a figure to quote. It assumes you would otherwise have bought one full pack and one full e-liquid bottle every day since your quit date, even if you only smoked, so it usually comes out too high. The spent today amount and the cost section in Stats are exact multiplications of what you logged by the prices you entered.
Why does my streak stay at 0 while I cut down?
In this version Current Streak counts only calendar days with nothing logged. A day under your reduction target still has entries, so it does not count. Use the Reduction Plan card, which compares Today's Target with Actual, to see whether you made your day.
Can I see more than a week of history for free?
Every entry is kept, and Export as CSV always includes all of them. On screen, the free version shows the last 7 days. Older days and the 14 Days, 30 Days and 90 Days ranges need Premium, or you can tap Watch a short ad for 24h access.
Can I edit an entry I logged by mistake?
Entries cannot be edited. In History, swipe left on the wrong entry to delete it, then log it again with Details, where you can set the correct Quantity and Time.
Why does it ask for Apple Health?
It is optional. When connected, each finished breathing exercise is saved as Mindful Minutes. The app also asks to read heart rate, but no screen shows it in this version, so you can decline that part.
What notifications does it send?
If you allow them, it sends encouragement messages in the hours after you open the app and a few reminders during your first month. It does not alert you when you reach your spacing goal, and the daily summary and reduction reminder switches in Settings do not send anything yet.
Which currencies can I use?
The Currency picker offers USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD and JPY. By default the app uses your device region's currency.
Is there an Apple Watch app or widgets?
There is no Apple Watch app. On iOS 18.6 or later there are three home-screen widgets (Smoke-Free Timer, Today's Count and Money Saved) and a Control Center button, Quick Log, that adds one entry.
What happens to my data if I delete the app?
It is deleted with the app, because there is no cloud backup or sync between devices. Before you delete it or change phones, use Export Data and Export as CSV to keep a copy of every entry.
Can it track nicotine strength or how much e-liquid I use?
No. Vaping is counted in puffs only. The cost per puff is estimated from the bottle price, its size in mL and the puffs per mL you enter.
