Mobile phones could be the next weapon in the fight against
smoking, says a scientist.

According to The Mercury, Dr Stuart Ferguson, researcher at the
University of Tasmania, is about to conduct a study to find
whether new technologies like text messaging could be used to
help smokers in kicking the butt.

According to Ferguson, the four-week study would involve 50
smokers who would be using education and support strategies in an
attempt of quitting smoking.
