ASH Wales and Cardiff University are working on a pilot of an interactive decision making website, QUITEX for smokers who are thinking about quitting.
QUITEX provides information and helps smokers choose between the different options that are available to help them quit. Smokers can also set up their own personalised quit smoking plan which they can use to seek further support from their local stop smoking service.
The university needs 400 people to use the trial website before they can proceed to the next phase of the research programme.
