Sensing & Logging
The Pivot app helps you visualize and understand
the carbon monoxide (CO) levels in your breath.
A simple logging tool lets you track cigarettes, so
you can see things like how much time you spend
smoking and how your patterns aect CO levels.

methods to help you discover new things about
your smoking, raise your interest in quitting, and
develop the conidence and skills to try.
Community
Join a group of peers who support each other
through the process of quitting smoking. Current

smoking for good.
The Pivot App works with the Pivot Breath Sensor to

Warnings & Precautions
USAGE INFORMATION
Ensure that your Pivot Breath Sensor is kept
away from small children under 3 years of age
and pets when not in use. The Sensor includes

for you to smoke. Smoking is harmful to your
health and any amount of smoking is unsafe.

Sensor.
Do not use the Pivot Breath Sensor while operating any
type of vehicle or machinery as you may be distracted
from the operation.
