Wow. First they had chewing gums to help you quit smoking, then came sessions to help you with that followed by electronic cigarettes. Well this year there is a new way to quit smoking as the world celebrates the No Smoking Day. Some smart folks out there have created an app for the largest social network, Facebook.
The idea is to get all the smokers challenge each other and friends alike to quit smoking where success will be rewarded and a lot of boos for failure. Sounds interesting, especially the idea of Wall of Shame, which puts the photos of smokers who find nooks and corners to continue with their habit and fool others. Again, the app will be pretty viral as March 10, the day for No-Smoking approaches and I really commend the group for making the effort. I have always thought that doing so all by yourself is pretty tough, but if you have the motivation from others like you and all smokers try to quit this habit in a group, actually find it much easier to reduce their tobacco intake.
Apparently the group wants to have a large population of smokers kick the habit out of their lives using the power of social media as a motivational tool. The page itself is pretty motivational and makes sure that the word and idea gets across to those who really want to let go of the habit and it brings to limelight the fact that social media can be put to many uses. The major being obviously connecting the masses under one common cause and agenda. If you are one of those smokers who are looking for a reason to quit the habit or happen to know someone who can benefit from this app, please do add the app: WeQuit.
