Twitter chatter can also help you quit smoking

"Quitting smoking is probably the easiest thing in the world, because so many people have quit so many times." But the next steps we recommend to quit smoking seem to be more "cold."

Sign up for a Twitter account (twitter.com) and if you feel the urge to crack open a cigarette case and smell the rather enticing smell of tobacco, feel free to send @fearlessz a message. It can be self-exhortation, it can be emotional.

Your quitting behavior log will be recorded, and other people who are also struggling in the quit camp may see this message and come to encourage you.

This is a new gadget that links smoking cessation to a one-sentence blog. Will it really work? If we keep track of our smoking cessation process and find people in the same boat, we believe the answer is yes, let's quit smoking together!
