Quit smoking with your Facebook friends
Posted by Marc | 10-03-2010 22:45 | Category: HealthToday at No Smoking Day 2010, Frank PR launched a stop smoking campaign with a Facebook app called WeQuit. The idea is that it is easier to quit with the help of your friends. But you don’t have to be a smoker to use WeQuit, you just have to know one on Facebook.
- It’s not just for smokers: Challenge yourself to quit, or challenge a friend
- Bet your mates: Create custom rewards for success and forfeits for failure
- Head to head: It’s easier when you’re not alone, so challenge your friends to see who can give up longest
- Quit for good: Sponsor a quit to help raise money for charity, and save a friend money at the same time
- Track your progress: Earn medals for progress, get your mates involved, and see how long you can manage

Duncan Bannatyne, President of No Smoking Day: “No Smoking Day has always encouraged smokers to work together and focus on one day to decide to make the change and quit. WeQuit makes this possible all year round by using the power of Facebook to keep those around you involved, make quitting more fun, more social and more accountable than ever before We feel that quitting is a challenge that should be inspiring and enjoyable rather than a chore, and it’s this attitude that makes WeQuit unique.”
I installed the application myself and guess what, Duncan from the great adblog Inspiration Room Daily did the same.
