ROCKVILLE, Md. , Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Monday, September 27, 2010, the National Cancer Institute's Smokefree Women Initiative will launch a video blog on the Smokefree Women Facebook page (http://facebook.com/Smokefree.Women). This new video blog will allow real women to share their quitting stories and offer encouragement to other women, as well as incorporate opinions and perspectives of those who've never smoked.
The Smokefree Women team will talk to women in the community about how smoking affects their lives. The team will gather footage from various places, such as sporting events, airports, and parks and post the videos to the Smokefree Women Facebook page. Women will be invited to participate in quizzes testing their knowledge of smoking and tobacco topics in exchange for prizes. Women will also be given the opportunity to submit questions to smoking cessation experts which will appear in "Ask the Expert" video posts. Users' comments will drive storylines, and eventually subscribers will be invited to submit their own videos, graphics, and stories.
Questions about the Smokefree Women video blog should be directed to: [email protected].
