What is the Quit Smoking Marathon ?

The "Quit Smoking Marathon, an Internet-based Program to Kick the Habit" is an Internet-based stop-smoking program, developed and conducted by Dr. Yuko Takahashi, for the first time in the world, as widely introduced through mass media. This program has been operated by Dr. Yuko Takahashi, in cooperation with the Executive Committee of the Quit Smoking Marathon and volunteer doctors throughout Japan.

In the Quit Smoking Marathon, an Internet-based Program to Kick the Habit, participants quit smoking while they receive periodic advice mail from President Takahashi and exchange mail with advisors (doctors and Quit Smoking Marathon graduates), for interactive encouragement.

However, you must remember that you cannot quit smoking if you only participate in the Quit Smoking Marathon, an Internet-based Program to Kick the Habit. You can kick the habit if you think of quit smoking as seriously as "I will start my new life!" and repeatedly challenging stopping smoking. We are willingly giving generous support to everyone who really wants to quit smoking.
