A smoking habit is so hard to break that it doesn’t seem possible that a series of simple encouraging text messages could help in any significant way.
But a study of wannabe quitters published by the Lancet suggests that those messages act like a little electronic Jiminy Cricket, doubling the quit rate compared to people who received texts unrelated to quitting. Of 2,911 smokers randomly assigned to the no-smoking texts, 10.7% were abstinent six months out. Only 4.9% of the 2,881 smokers getting texts unrelated to quitting did so.
