互联网可以提供由高素质专业人员开发的在线戒烟计划的广泛访问。与戒烟诊所或戒烟电话中的一对一咨询相比，互联网上自动化、个性化咨询的大规模传播可以与工业革命相提并论，当时在小商店工作的熟练工匠被巨大的工厂取代。数以百计的网站提供戒烟信息和建议，但很少有网站得到科学的评估。因此，目前尚不清楚基于网络的戒烟干预措施是否长期有效，以及它们的哪些组成部分对吸烟者亚组最有效。在一些受欢迎的网站上发现的功效声明尚未得到评估。互联网正越来越多地被烟草公司用来推销他们的产品。互联网戒烟计划对吸烟流行率的总体影响尚不清楚。要加大力度，提高戒烟网站的覆盖面和效果。
The internet can provide wide access to online smoking cessation programmes developed by highly qualified professionals. Compared with one-to-one counselling in smoking cessation clinics or on telephone quitlines, the mass-level dissemination of automatised, individualised counselling on the internet is comparable to the industrial revolution, when skilled craftsmen working in small shops were replaced by huge plants. Hundreds of websites provide information and advice on smoking cessation, but very few of them have been evaluated scientifically. Therefore, it is not yet known whether web-based smoking cessation interventions are effective in the long term, and which of their components are most effective for subgroups of smokers. Claims for efficacy found on some popular websites have not been evaluated. The internet is being used increasingly by tobacco companies to promote their products. The overall effect of internet smoking cessation programs on smoking prevalence is unknown. Greater efforts should be expended to improve the reach and efficacy of smoking cessation websites.
