Text messages could become a vital
smoking cessation
tool, research carried out by multiple US universities has indicated.
Because cell phones are now such a regular feature of our everyday lives
–and because many people possess phone deals that give them unlimited
text messaging – the researchers argue that text messages can be used as
a cheap and convenient method of amassing data about Doina smoking
habits.
They say that by encouraging smokers to send a few texts
each day which detail their smoking behaviours, health experts can help
to monitor and assess the frequency of patients’
cigarette smoking
sessions.
