Online banking and shopping we have heard off, but quitting smoking online? Taiwan’s Bureau of Health Promotion has brought its anti-smoking support network online, offering support and help for smokers in need of advice in the design of e-mail as well as Skype conversations. There will be an anti-smoking chatroom as well as forums for smokers to pick up tips from their brethren who have kicked the habit. The convenience, anonymity

and flexibility of such a communication method aims to cater to those who are too shy to pick up a telephone. I suppose that is a double-edged sword, since the anonymity such a vehicle affords you would additionally mean less accountability, making it harder to quit such a habit.
