Q: How much can I contribute to the world if I smoke one less cigarette per day

A: YOU decideWe make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

You will NOT need a credit card. We don't sell, share, or use personal information. If you are happy with your results and want to share them with others, we will gladly publish your results on this website. QuitCignal is a nonprofit organization. Our goal is to help some people stop smoking by showing them how much good they can squeeze out of their unsmoked cigarettes. For example, if you can save lives by smoking one less cigarette a day, the resulting feeling may prompt you to smoke even less. Following this chain of reasoning, some personalities may be able to bootstrap themselves out of addiction. Are you one of us? In other words: If I smoke one less cigarette per day for the rest of my life I can have $1000 today. For $1000 I can prevent 200 children from contracting AIDS. If I smoke one less cigarette per day for the rest of my life I can prevent 200 children from contracting AIDS. How do you keep track of all this information and how do you make these decisions? QuitCignal does all of this while you are playing the game. As you play the game and smoke less, money accumulates in your account. This is the money that you are saving for yourself. Throughout the game we will present you with some of the most innovative social projects in the U.S. and around the world. This is just to show you what your cigarettes can turn into. These projects stand to help millions of people because they are intelligent and effective, not because they are expensive. You can choose to invest in each project individually. You are under no obligation to invest and even if you do you are in no way financially accountable. Your game performance will be proportional to the amount of good that you create out of your cigarettes. Once the game is over you will receive an email giving the details of your performance. If you choose to make this game a reality, you can donate your unsmoked cigarettes to the projects of your choice. If you didn't find it a worthwhile experience, simply ignore this last email. You will learn a lot about the world and about what people are doing to help each other. This experience will hopefully help you quit sooner than later.
