Smoking is a major cause of cancer and the top preventable cause of death. Most of the tobacco smokers (68%) want to stop smoking completely (Babb, 2017). The reason why people cannot stop smoking is because of limited information at that time. Some of the respondents stated that they do not know how to find a solution and guidance to quit smoking. This project aims to develop a smoking cessation community care portal to help people quit smoking.
