With New Features, Stop Smoking Tip to Revolutionize Antismoking Industry

Site gets interactive with a package of creative and helpful new features

SAN FRANCISCO — January 19, 2009 — The innovative website Stop Smoking Tip, located at http://www.stopsmokingtip.us/, is bringing a fresh twist to the online stop-smoking community. In addition to their existing content, they’re now introducing interactive new features that let readers take a more active role in helping themselves and others. These features include surveys, quizzes, games, and new content sections.

According to Chief Editor Josh Dartel, the goal of these efforts is to breathe new life into the internet anti-smoking world, which typically promotes the same old ineffective stop-smoking solutions. “People want something new,” says Dartel. “They’re starting to figure out that the for-profit antismoking industry has been deceiving and manipulating them, and they’re tired of the mainstream quitting methods not working. So we’re giving them something different.” With these efforts, the creators of Stop Smoking Tip expect to become the top web portal for stop-smoking solutions.

Reader-Generated Stop Smoking Tips

More specifically, the Stop Smoking Tip general survey, located at http://www.stopsmokingtip.us/stop-smoking-survey, gives readers a chance to help shape the content Stop Smoking Tip’s editors put on the site. Meanwhile, the “Share a Tip” page at http://www.stopsmokingtip.us/share-stop-smoking-tip allows readers to post ideas and quitting methods that have worked for them.

These additions have been established to enhance Stop Smoking Tip’s well-established offerings, which include articles and information about how to quit smoking, detailed stop-smoking tips, a Smoking Buzz section, and two free stop-smoking hypnosis sessions. Another new addition is the “Therapy Corner” (http://www.stopsmokingtip.us/category/stop-smoking-therapy), where readers can find inside information about techniques that stop-smoking therapists and hypnotists use on their patients.

All of this is designed to give readers a full, balanced view of all the quit-smoking methods that are available to them. “We’re just there to give them the information,” says Editor Dartel. “We can’t force people to use any particular quitting method. That’s a personal choice for every smoker.”

Quitting Can be Fun, Too

The editors of Stop Smoking Tip also emphasize that quitting smoking is a serious matter, so it’s important to lighten the mood and show readers that there’s a fun side to quitting. The Stop Smoking Tip quiz (http://www.stopsmokingtip.us/are-you-ready-to-quit-smoking-now-take-our-quiz-to-find-out) gives readers a fun way to think about their own readiness to quit, while the Black Square game (http://www.stopsmokingtip.us/black-square) gives quitters a fun, brain-teasing distraction to get them through those moments of withdrawal.
