New iPhone App for Smokers Trying to Quit
iPhone users wanting to quit smoking now have a new tool at their disposal – a new app that will link them to the National Cancer Institute’s quitline service where they can use live txt or speak directly to a live quitline coach to get advice and help on quitting smoking.
The app, which offers smokers a proven quit smoking therapy, was developed by the School of Public Health and Health Services (SPHHS) at George Washington University and the National Cessation Collaborative (NTCC) with support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Smokers can find this new app on their iPhone or itunes site by simply by searching ‘My Quitline’ or ‘quit smoking’.
Sure, there are plenty of other iPhone apps aimed at encouraging, assisting, and supporting smokers who are trying to quit, but the ‘My Quitline’ app is the only one that links smokers with a proven evidence-based therapy on how to quit smoking.
Sounds like a winner for quitters to me.
