Systems and methods for quantification of, and prediction of smoking behavior

1. A method of quantifying an individual's behavior, the method comprising:

obtaining a plurality of samples of exhaled air from the individual over a period of time and recording a collection time associated with each sample of exhaled air;

measuring an amount of exhaled carbon monoxide for each of the samples of exhaled air;

compiling a dataset comprising the amount of exhaled carbon monoxide and the collection time for each sample of exhaled air;

quantifying an additive exposure of exhaled carbon monoxide over the period of time and assigning an exhaled carbon monoxide load to a plurality of intervals of time within the period of time using the dataset; and

displaying the exhaled carbon monoxide load for at least one of the plurality of intervals of time.

2. The method of claim 1 , where obtaining the plurality of samples of exhaled air from the individual over the period of time and recording the collection time of each sample of exhaled air comprises sequentially obtaining the plurality of samples of exhaled air.

3. The method of claim 1 , where quantifying the cumulative exposure of exhaled carbon monoxide comprises correlating a function of exhaled carbon monoxide versus time over the period of time using the dataset.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising obtaining an area of exhaled carbon monoxide and time under a curve defined by the function over the interval of time.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a signal to the individual to provide at least one sample of exhaled air.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising alerting the individual on a repeating basis to provide the sample of exhaled air over the period of time.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an input data from the individual and recording a time of the input.

8. The method of claim 7 , where the input data comprises at least a count of a portion of a cigarette smoked by the individual.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising visually displaying a summation of the count of portion of the cigarettes smoked by the individual.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining a cigarette cost using the count of the portion of cigarettes smoked by the individual and displaying the cigarette cost.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining a nicotine estimate using the count of the portion of cigarettes smoked by the individual and displaying the nicotine estimate.

12. The method of claim 7 , where the input data comprises a behavioral information of the individual.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the visual display of the exhaled carbon monoxide load in association with a visual display interval of time within the period of time.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a visual display of a count of a number of the plurality of samples of exhaled air.

15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a series of exhaled carbon monoxide loads for a series of intervals of time within the period of time.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising displaying the series of exhaled carbon monoxide loads for the series of intervals of time.

17. The method of claim 1 , where measuring the amount of exhaled carbon monoxide comprises using a portable sensor.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising transmitting the amount of exhaled carbon monoxide and the collection time associated with each sample of exhaled air from the portable sensor to an electronic device.

19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining a location of the individual when obtaining at least one of the plurality of samples of exhaled air.

20. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining a result of a behavioral questionnaire from the individual and displaying the result of the behavioral questionnaire with the exhaled carbon monoxide load.
