Introduction

Smoking is a practice a substance is burned to create smoke which is breathed in to be tasted. Tobacco smoking is a practice of burning tobacco and ingesting the smoke which is produced. People who start smoking at their early stage are more expected to develop severe addiction to nicotine than those who start at late stage. Different studies show that, this group of people often would like to quit smoking but are not able to do so. Distinct mhealth approaches are found cost-effective, scalable and sustainable in cessation of smoking as well. In this study we are keen to evaluate which mhealth approach is more effective in cessation of smoking among University students.
