Smoking is one of the leading causes of chronic disease in Canadians. The Canadian Public Health Association estimates that in 2013, smoking caused an economic burden of over $18B. Appnovation Inc. is developing a mobile application to assist current smokers in quitting. The "Quitter's Circle", an application that works with a Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS) platform (Newton), that allows a smoker to seek support and motivation from family and close friends in order to maintain their journey. The algorithm will be a combination of supervised machine learning and optimization techniques. The resulting software platform is expected to

吸烟是加拿大人患慢性病的主要原因之一。加拿大公共卫生协会估计，2013年，吸烟造成的经济负担超过180亿美元。Appnovation公司正在开发一款帮助当前吸烟者戒烟的移动应用程序。“戒烟圈”是一个与移动后端即服务（MBaaS）平台（Newton）合作的应用程序，它允许吸烟者从家人和亲密朋友那里寻求支持和动力，以维持他们的旅程。该算法将是监督机器学习和优化技术的结合。由此产生的软件平台有望
