The ‘Tobacco Free Teens’ app helps young to quit smoking. The app also provides suggestions on how to improve behaviors that will help eliminate pro tobacco pressure. The app designer A. Prokohov says, “Our app combines education and comics with interactive games”. This appears very interesting indeed as there are usually things that guide us instructions how to get free of smoking and such things are boring and soon the person following forgets them.
This app is a part of project ASPIRE (A Smoking Prevention Interacting Experience) which is itself started by the same Alexander Prokohov. This program mainly concerns high school and middle school students who are most vulnerable to this habit.
Designer of this app Alexander Prokhorov claims that education and entertainment are interconnected with comics and games. He himself is a professor of Behavioral Sciences at University of Texas. He told that the app motivates teens stay away from smoking and is naturally more appealing to youth. The app not only motivates people, teens largely, to stay away from smoking and smokers but also teaches them behavioral skills.
He took the contents for development of online tobacco prevention curriculum. This app works with cool sounds and animated characters. Plus this app is equally helpful to all kinds of smokers, those who have never smoked, seldom smoke, have difficulty in quitting smoking. So if you are an addict and want to get free of this bad habit, here is the solution for you as anyone of any age group can get benefits here.
The app also includes games that could help quit smoking. There are games where you have to avoid tempting smoking objects appearing on screen. Another game works by cards where you are memorized the outcomes of smoking via pictures so you are subconsciously getting away from smoking.
In short, this app is pretty helpful if you want to quit smoking and also for parents to keep their children away from this habit.
