Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé destiné à diminuer, voire annuler, la consommation de cigarettes d'un individu qui frime. L'invention concerne aussi le dispositif destiné à mettre en oeuvre le procédé.The present invention relates to a method for reducing, or even cancel, the cigarette consumption of an individual who shows off. The invention also relates to the device intended to implement the process.

Le monde moderne est plein de paradoxes : d'une part, l'individu est poussé à fumer, et d'autre part, ce même individu est grandement désireux de vivre une vie saine, sans nicotine, car il connaít les risques liés à l'abus de cigarettes. Mais le désir de fumer est généralement plus fort que celui de ne pas fumer, tant le geste de fumer en lui-même est devenu automatique.The modern world is full of paradoxes: on the one hand, the individual is pushed to smoke, and on the other hand, that same individual is greatly wanting to live a healthy life without nicotine because he knows the risks linked to cigarette abuse. But the desire to smoke is generally more strong as that of not smoking, so much the gesture of smoking in itself is become automatic.

Il existe déjà de très nombreuses méthodes pour forcer un fumeur à ne plus fumer. Ces méthodes sont souvent médicales et parfois basées sur la psychologie, voire l'acuponcture, et n'ont pas grand succès, en tous cas, dans le temps. Il arrive, en effet, que certains fumeurs cessent pendant plusieurs mois de fumer et reprennent plus tard parfois de plus belle, leur automatisme gestuel et tous les efforts faits pendants de nombreux mois sont alors anéantis. Le fumeur est un robot qui s'ignore, victime d'une habitude, et son geste de préhension d'une cigarette relève de la technique puisque non provoqué par une décision volontaire de l'être humain. Il n'existe à l'heure actuelle aucun procédé visant à intervenir dans l'automatisme du geste du fumeur qui prend une cigarette. Le fumeur est non seulement victime de sa dépendance à la nicotine, mais également du réflexe du fumeur qui lui fait saisir une cigarette inconsciemment. Sur ce point, aucun système efficace n'a jusqu'alors été mis au point et le fumeur allume une cigarette après l'autre, sans qu'aucun obstacle ne le pousse à s'interroger sur son geste et sur les conséquences qu'il a sur sa santé. There are already many methods to force a smoker to stop smoking. These methods are often medical and sometimes based on psychology, even acupuncture, and are not very successful, in all case, in time. It happens, in fact, that some smokers quit during several months of smoking and later resumed sometimes more beautifully, their gestural automatism and all the efforts made for many months are then wiped out. The smoker is a robot who ignores himself, victim of a habit, and his gesture of grasping a cigarette comes under the technical since not caused by a voluntary decision to be human. There is currently no process to intervene in the automatism of the gesture of the smoker who takes a cigarette. The smoker is not only a victim of his addiction to nicotine, but also the reflex of the smoker who makes him grab a cigarette unconsciously. On this point, no effective system has so far been developed and the smoker lights one cigarette after another, without any obstacle does not push him to wonder about his gesture and the consequences that he has on his health.

La présente invention concerne un procédé destiné à diminuer voire annuler la consommation de cigarettes d'un fumeur qui consiste à briser cette gestuelle automatique.The present invention relates to a method for reducing or even cancel a smoker's cigarette consumption which consists of break this automatic gesture.

Ainsi, le procédé selon l'invention, destiné à diminuer ou annuler la consommation de cigarettes ou similaire d'un individu, est caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à briser la gestuelle automatique de ce dernier.Thus, the method according to the invention, intended to reduce or cancel an individual's consumption of cigarettes or the like is characterized in that it consists in breaking the automatic gesture of the latter.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, le procédé consiste pour le fumeur à faire une intervention manuelle et volontaire, qui matérialise la prise de chaque cigarette, et qui consiste aussi à faire connaítre à l'individu sa consommation journalière et/ou hebdomadaire et/ou mensuelle de cigarettes.According to an additional characteristic, the method consists for the smoker to make a manual and voluntary intervention, which materializes the catch of each cigarette, which also consists in making know the individual's daily and / or weekly consumption and / or monthly cigarettes.

L'invention concerne aussi le dispositif destiné à mettre en oeuvre le procédé qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens permettant de briser la gestuelle automatique du fumeur, tandis que ces moyens permettant de briser la gestuelle du fumeur sont constitués par des moyens de comptage et d'identification du nombre de cigarettes fumées.The invention also relates to the device intended for implements the process which is characterized in that it comprises means allowing the smoker's automatic gestures to be broken, while these means to break the smoker's body movements consist of means of counting and identifying the number of cigarettes fumes.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, le dispositif est constitué par un support qui présente une surface imprimée comprenant un ensemble de marques, qui sont, par exemple imprimées avec de l'encre à gratter.According to an additional characteristic, the device is consisting of a support which has a printed surface comprising a set of marks, which are for example printed with scratch ink.

Par ailleurs, il est aussi prévu des moyens pour visualiser les reports journaliers et/ou hebdomadaires et/ou mensuels de cigarettes fumées.Furthermore, means are also provided for viewing the daily and / or weekly and / or monthly postponements of cigarettes fumes.

Ajoutons que le dispositif peut être constitué par un support du type autocollant , ou qu'il est du type électronique.Add that the device can be constituted by a support of the sticker type, or electronic type.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention se dégageront de la description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés qui ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemples non limitatifs.

  • La figure 1 illustre en vue de face un mode d'exécution du dispositif selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente un paquet de cigarettes revêtu du dispositif de la figure 1.
  • La figure 3 illustre une variante d'exécution.
  • Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawings which are given only by way of nonlimiting examples.
  • Figure 1 illustrates in front view an embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents a packet of cigarettes coated with the device of FIG. 1.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an alternative embodiment.
  • L'invention concerne donc un procédé qui consiste à briser la gestuelle automatique du fumeur en lui imposant une intervention manuelle qui, par ailleurs et avantageusement, lui permettra de connaítre sa consommation de cigarettes journalière, voire hebdomadaire, mensuelle ou annuelle. Les détails du procédé seront exposés lors de la description d'un mode d'exécution d'un dispositif destiné à mettre en oeuvre le procédé de l'invention.The invention therefore relates to a method which consists in breaking the smoker's automatic gesture by imposing an intervention manual which, moreover and advantageously, will allow him to know his daily or even weekly cigarette consumption, monthly or yearly. The details of the process will be explained during the description of an embodiment of a device intended for implements the process of the invention.

    Selon le mode d'exécution d'un dispositif de l'invention illustré à la figure 1, ce dernier est, par exemple, constitué par un support (1) qui présente une surface imprimée (2) comprenant un ensemble de marques (3a, 3b, ...) imprimées, par exemple, avec de l'encre à gratter. Ledit ensemble de marques constitue, par exemple, une suite de nombres dans l'exemple illustré de 1 à 140, chacun de ces nombres étant imprimé dans une case individuelle. Notons aussi que l'ensemble de ces cases individuelles sont disposées selon des lignes et des colonnes comme peut l'être un tableur. On notera aussi que le support imprime une zone additionnelle destinée au report et à la totalisation et au cumul de la consommation comprenant une succession de cases additionnelles (4a, 4b, 4c...) destinées au report de la consommation, comme nous le verrons plus loin dans la description, le report pouvant se faire chaque jour, chaque semaine ou chaque mois. Ces cases additionnelles constituent ainsi des marges pour visualiser les reports journaliers et/ou hebdomadaires et/ou mensuels, voire annuels de la consommation de cigarettes.According to the embodiment of a device of the invention illustrated in Figure 1, the latter is, for example, constituted by a support (1) which has a printed surface (2) comprising a set of marks (3a, 3b, ...) printed, for example, with scratch-off ink. Said set of marks constitutes, for example, a sequence of numbers in the illustrated example from 1 to 140, each of these numbers being printed in an individual box. Note also that all of these boxes individual are arranged in rows and columns as can be a spreadsheet. Note also that the support prints an area for the postponement and totalization and accumulation of the consumption including a succession of additional boxes (4a, 4b, 4c ...) intended for the postponement of consumption, as we see later in the description, the postponement can be done each day, week or month. These additional boxes thus constitute margins for viewing daily reports and / or weekly and / or monthly or even annual consumption of cigarettes.

    Ainsi, une première série de cases additionnelles (4a, 4'a, 4'b) prévoit les reports journaliers, une deuxième case additionnelle (4b) prévoit le report de la semaine et une troisième case additionnelle (4c) est faite pour procéder au report mensuel.Thus, a first series of additional boxes (4a, 4'a, 4'b) provides daily deferrals, a second additional box (4b) provides for the postponement of the week and a third additional box (4c) is made to carry out the monthly report.

    La surface imprimée (2) peut être réalisée sous la forme d'un formulaire autocollant apposable sur tout support comme, par exemple, sur un paquet de cigarettes (5), comme cela est illustré à la figure 2.The printed surface (2) can be produced in the form of a sticker form affixed to any medium such as, for example, on a pack of cigarettes (5), as shown in Figure 2.

    Nous allons à présent décrire le procédé de l'invention. Grâce au support imprimé présent à chaque fois que le fumeur ouvre son paquet de cigarettes (5) pour fumer, ce dernier note, en grattant, la case correspondant à sa prise de cigarette. Ainsi, il pourra contrôler sa consommation de façon consciente et volontaire. Le procédé fonctionne grâce à l'intervention manuelle et volontaire du fumeur. C'est donc un véritable outil destiné à donner la prise de conscience du geste habituellement inconscient, paramètre qui conduira inévitablement le fumeur à restreindre petit à petit sa consommation jusqu'alors totalement dénuée de démarche volontaire.We will now describe the process of the invention. Thanks to printed medium present each time the smoker opens his package cigarettes (5) for smoking, the latter notes, when scratching, the box corresponding to his cigarette intake. So he can control his conscious and voluntary consumption. The process works thanks to the manual and voluntary intervention of the smoker. So it's a real tool intended to raise awareness of the gesture usually unconscious, a parameter that will inevitably lead to smoker to gradually restrict his consumption until then completely devoid of a voluntary approach.

    De plus, l'invention lui donnera l'occasion de connaítre exactement sa consommation de cigarettes, grâce à un rappel de la consommation du jour, de la semaine et du mois. Ce simple constat, dont il sera l'acteur, lui insufflera inévitablement un besoin de restreindre une consommation dont il devient maítre de par la décision qui s'impose à chaque prise de cigarette, et de par les résultats cumulés qui l'amèneront à la décision volontaire de réduire sa consommation. C'est là le but final de l'invention.In addition, the invention will give him the opportunity to know exactly his cigarette consumption, thanks to a reminder of the consumption of the day, the week and the month. This simple observation, of which he will be the actor, will inevitably instill in him a need to restrict a consumption of which he becomes master by the decision which is imposed on each cigarette, and by the cumulative results that will bring it to the voluntary decision to reduce consumption. This is the end goal of the invention.

    Le support de la surface imprimée peut prendre toute forme et peut être en toute matière. Ainsi :

    • la surface imprimée peut se présenter comme un formulaire autocollant apposable sur tout support ;
    • la surface imprimée peut revêtir la forme d'un étui à cigarettes ;
    • la surface peut être imprimée sur un clip en forme de U qui pince le paquet de cigarettes sur ses deux faces principales ;
    • l'encre à gratter peut être remplacée par de petites étiquettes adhésives s'enlevant ou s'ajoutant au gré de la consommation de cigarettes ;
    • sous une forme plus simple, l'encre à gratter peut être remplacée par de simples emplacements où le fumeur inscrit ses nombres à l'aide d'un crayon ou d'un stylo ou tout autre moyen d'écriture ;
    • la série de nombres peut être remplacée par une suite alphabétique ;
    • la série de nombres peut être remplacée par une série de systèmes de signes divers ;
    • la série de nombres peut être remplacée par une série de dessins divers ;
    • la série de nombres peut être remplacée par une gamme de couleurs différentes.
    The support of the printed surface can take any shape and can be of any material. So :
    • the printed surface may appear as a self-adhesive form affixed to any medium;
    • the printed surface can take the form of a cigarette case;
    • the surface can be printed on a U-shaped clip which clamps the cigarette packet on its two main faces;
    • the scratch-off ink can be replaced by small adhesive labels which can be removed or added as the consumption of cigarettes increases;
    • in a simpler form, the scratch-off ink can be replaced by simple places where the smoker writes down his numbers using a pencil or a pen or any other writing means;
    • the series of numbers may be replaced by an alphabetical sequence;
    • the series of numbers can be replaced by a series of systems of various signs;
    • the series of numbers may be replaced by a series of various designs;
    • the series of numbers can be replaced by a range of different colors.

    Le dispositif peut aussi être un support ayant la forme d'un étui à cigarettes (102) dont l'une des faces aurait les différentes cases (tel que cela est illustré à la réalisation de la figure 3).The device can also be a support in the form of a case for cigarettes (102) one of the faces of which would have different boxes (such as this is illustrated in the embodiment of FIG. 3).

    Il va de soi que le dispositif pourrait être du type électronique pour comprendre des moyens d'identification de prise de cigarettes.. Ce dispositif pouvant être un accessoire pouvant prendre toutes formes, comme par exemple une calculette, une montre, un porte clés ou autres.It goes without saying that the device could be of the electronic type. to understand means of identification of taking cigarettes .. This device which can be an accessory which can take any form, like for example a calculator, a watch, a key ring or others.

    Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the modes of realization described and represented as examples, but it includes also all technical equivalents and their combinations.
