Smoking is known to cause cancer, heart disease and other ailments, yet people continue to smoke
because of nicotine dependence. It takes significant motivation to quit smoking, but even for motivated
people, it is difficult to quit without some day to day hand-holding and encouragement.
PurpleTeal's unique QuitSmoke program sends timely SMS messages - hints, tips, alerts and information to help those trying to quit smoking stay focused on dealing with cravings, urges, withdrawal and avoiding triggers. Covering an 8-weeks period, QuitSmoke initially prepares smokers to quit by giving them simple tools and activities, then sets a Quit Date after which smoking is not allowed. Through the 8-weeks period, the aim of QuitSmoke is to develop smoking avoidance habits.
