Get addicted to Facebook to quit smoking but avoid using “who’s viewing your profile” apps!


You’ve tried quitting smoking for a number of times but have never succeeded. But if you’re an addict of Facebook, you’d have found that you’d most likely not think of the cancer sticks why you’re staying online on Facebook. The reason is you’ve got addicted with the stream of activities on Facebook, and in fact you wouldn’t have realized it was the best tool to help you quit smoking as well.

Other than your own addiction, Facebook also has an interesting application that has recently been launched by WeQuit, a charity, which is meant for helping people to give up tobacco.

Basically the WeQuit application motivates you and your friends to stop smoking. It provides tracking for your progress, also challenges you and your mates, provides useful tips to quit and gives you a friendly nudge in the right direction.

But actually Security experts of Facebook don’t recommend and are warning users not to use the applications which claim to allow users to see who is viewing their profile and Facebook is “aggressively disabling” these bogus apps.
