Back in June 2011, UK medical journal The Lancet found that 11 per cent of smokers receiving support text messages while trying to kick the habit were successful in quitting. With that in mind, US app developer Iconosys has released I Can Quit, a health-related app aimed at providing assistance and tracking for people trying to give up smoking – or any other habit, the developer rather mysteriously suggests.
“Research studies have proven that smokers are twice as likely to succeed in quitting if they receive supportive text messages. I feel that this app is a valuable tool to assist you in successfully conquering a dangerous habit,” says Iconosys advisory board member Leonard Bernstein, M.D.
