HOUSTON, June 23 /PRNewswire/ — DaretoQuit.com is the only online stop
smoking program that interacts daily with the user, providing specific
lessons and strategies to coach him/her through the quitting process. The
most unique thing about DaretoQuit.com is the video interface. Users are
greeted daily by a “quit coach” who gets to know them and their personal
smoking habits and “holds their hand” through the process.
DaretoQuit.com is a 6 week smoking cessation program developed by
psychologists and based upon 30 years of scientific research. It is the
only interactive, individualized smoking cessation program that tailors
itself to individuals and their unique smoking habits
Each day when users log on to the DaretoQuit.com, they are directed to
their own personalized page, called “My Page”. Here, they receive daily
lessons, coping strategies and feedback about how they are doing. This page
also contains personalized information, including a graph of all of the
subscribers’ smoking episodes so they can easily track their progress over
time.
“Quitting smoking is HARD! DaretoQuit.com is designed to give the user
the tools they need to be successful. What is different about
DaretoQuit.com is that it is personal and interactive. No two people will
work the program quite the same way, because no two individuals are exactly
the same. It takes courage and effort to quit smoking, but we know you can
do it…go ahead, we dare you!” Suzanne Mouton-Odum, Ph.D. Developer of
DaretoQuit.com
