As part of an innovative 3-year project, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), The Schroeder Institute at Legacy have developed a new Facebook app that will both help smokers quit as well as provide data about how people quit smoking on social networks like Facebook.   

UbiQUITous is currently the only evidence-based app on Facebook dedicated to helping users quit smoking. The development of UbiQUITous capitalized on more than a decade of work and experience by Schroeder Institute and Legacy staff, including the design, development and evaluation of the largest and best known online social networks for smoking cessation - BecomeAnEX.org and QuitNet.com.
