The current version of SilkQuit calculates the time you have been quit, the total amount of money not spent on your habit, and the time you've saved by not smoking. Your quit duration is shown in years, calendar months, weeks, hours, minutes and seconds. By using a configurable hot-key combination you can paste detailed quit information into any document, handy if you're involved with an online support forum.

I received the below email in July, 2011:
Hi,
Greetings from Mrs. Bell's 10th grade summer science class! Our class is currently working on group projects related to staying healthy and staying away from negative influences like cigarettes. They have been doing a decent amount of research to find the best resources for their projects and final presentation. A few students found this page http://www.freedomvillage.net/id83.htm to be very informative and resourceful for their project. Thank you for providing this source on your site!
I (Mrs. Bell) started a bonus program earlier in the year for my students to take a little extra time in doing research and bringing their findings to me for bonus points. In this situation if they find other resources that will make a site I have approved more resourceful, they get additional bonus points if they educator decides to use their findings. Two groups approached me with the following resource that if I may suggest would make a nice addition to the other resources already on the page:
Their summer class ends in the middle of August but this lesson ends at the end of next week. They will only be able to receive bonus points for this lesson, so we hope to hear your decision before then!
I really appreciate the time you took in building your page and providing reliable resources for my students and myself. Thank you for all your hard work and giving my students a further incentive to try harder.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Jodiene Bell and the 10th Grade Class
Note from the webmaster of Bubba's Quit Smoking Links: I can't thank Mrs. Bell and her Summer Class enough for the above links. Please check them out as they are excellent websites!

"Good Day Friends at Bubba’s Links to Quit Smoking,
After recently coming across your site, Bubba’s Links to Quit Smoking, I can tell that we both have an interest in joining the fight for clear and healthy lungs. I think that your site offers a wonderful source that people can relate to and face the facts. Smoking is not only bad for their health, but can also contribute to other health complications as well. My name is Katrina, and I am the Communications Director for Mesothelioma Symptoms.
Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to Asbestos, a common household building material used heavily in insulation and fireproofing that can easily latch onto the inner lining of the lungs when inhaled. This cancer is diagnosed in approximately 2,500 to 3,000 Americans every year. Smoking does not cause Mesothelioma, however, the combination of smoking and asbestos exposure significantly increases a person's risk of developing cancer of the air passageways in the lung."

This site has been on the web since 1996. I discovered Quit Smoking Online accidentally while on Zeal, which I am a proud member of. Looksmart's Zeal chooses their sites carefully and I knew QSO would be special and I wasn't disappointed! I wrote to them requesting an exchange of links. Right away I heard from John who placed a link on the site for Freedom Village the following day. This is a non-profit website that exists by donations.
