While doing my outreach efforts with people utilizing video blogging to quit smoking, I am seeing where people who are using different approaches to quit smoking are comparing their experiences, often in hopes of understanding what they can each expect to be happening because of similar time frames of not smoking. This video explains the real limitation of getting this understanding from people who are quitting by different methodologies.

The video also explains why I am reaching out to some people on their blogs and not to others.
