Quit Smoking Using Facebook

I thought this idea was ingenious. Using facebook and other social media networks to help with any bad habits. Think about it, how quick and easy it is to have support from all of your friends and family within minutes or hours of a status update. Beyond the chemical addiction of smoking, there are emotional ties that require methods other than medicine. Studies show that people are better apt to stick to their new plan if the proper support method is in place.

The “T” in the START mnemonic for quitting endorsed by www.smokefree.gov is to “Tell family, friends, and coworkers that you plan to quit.” This recommendation is based on the notion that smoking is not purely a chemical addiction; it has important environmental, social, and cultural elements, too.
