A month ago I wrote about the health risks from using smokeless tobacco:
http://www.healthline.com/blogs/smoking_cessation/2009/08/how-harmful-is-snuff-smokeless-tobacco.html
Today I’d like to mention a relatively new website that is designed to help young smokeless tobacco users (aged 14-25) to quit using smokeless tobacco, and to participate in a national cancer Institute-funded study of the usefulness of the site.
The website is called Mylastdip.com and was launched in October 2008. Over 500 people have enrolled on the site to take part in a free self-help quitting program. To enroll, participants must have an active e-mail address and be willing to complete some online questionnaires as part of the research program.
MyLasDip.com is free and available 24 hours a day, was developed by experts in smokeless tobacco cessation, and is based on methods that have been effective with thousands of smokeless tobacco users.
So check out: mylastdip.com
