Cover Story: An accurate estimation of smoking activity in an unobstructed way will enhance the efficacy of smoking cessation programs and contribute useful information about smoking behavior and enable just-in-time interventions aimed at the control of smoking and reducing smoking-related diseases and deaths. Many studies focused on the motion of the forearm to identify hand-to-mouth gestures associated with smoking. However, smoking-related gestures are not limited to forearm motions. Many other motions that include finger and hand gestures are also actively engaged during cigarette smoking. The utilization and of sEMG signals can follow a variety of gestures. Using a single wearable device, the motion of the forearm via an IMU, and the motion of hand/finger, via sEMG signals, can be followed. View this paper.
