Cash incentive is how I quit smoking.

Cash incentive is how I quit smoking.

As the saying goes, though, you have to be ready to make a change. In this case a co-worker and I put money in a pot, added to it on a weekly basis depending on whether we smoked or not. The pot went to the person who fell off the no smoking wagon last. Most importantly for me, there was a defined time limit of 3 months. Long enough to build a habit, short enough to not feel like forever if I wanted to return to the activity.

Right now we go to punishment by way of taxing - which works for a lot of people right now.
