16.6.06 Quitting smoking via blogs: it begins
This week, bloggers C. Trinity and Knoizki targeted June 13 to give up smoking, using the blogosphere as their support group. It was done after I suggested it, and I had met them both through coComment—which shows how good these Web 2·0 tools can be. It further shows that the community that blogs can bring, and what greater good we can do, if these two can use them to stop smoking and improve their lives. They really are alternatives for “being there” and bring a sense of fellowship for a web-savvy generation.
C. has quit for three days, and I encourage readers to give her their encouragement (she is blogging daily about her experiences), while K is wavering a bit and could need your words to psyche him up to his new target date of Sunday. Posted by Jack Yan, 21:38 Comments:
Oh, what a great idea! I shall head over to their blogs and give some moral support.

That is so wonderful to know, C.! Hooray! You are right that the mind is way more powerful than anything tobacco can create inside you.
this is a nice project to increase awareness on the dangers of smoking as well
