The Long View shows the time you win back by quitting smoking, worked out from your own habit, on Android and Wear OS.
Enter how much you smoke and for how long. The app shows the years that habit has likely cost you, and how many come back as you cut down and stay smoke free. A one-tap check-in each day keeps the number current.

WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM
About 17 minutes of life per cigarette for men and 22 for women (Jackson et al., Addiction, 2025), a life table for your own age, sex and country (the US Social Security Administration for the United States, the World Health Organization for every other country), and the recovery bands from Jha et al., New England Journal of Medicine, 2013. The full method is on thelongviewapp.com.
YOUR PRIVACY
The free app needs no account, and what you log stays on your device. With Premium, your check-ins sync encrypted with a key made on your device, so what we store is unreadable to us. No ads.
The estimate is a motivational figure built from population averages. For medical advice, talk to a doctor or a quitline.
