dc.description.abstract | Tobacco consumption continues be a
considerable issue in today's society. Apart from the
obvious health problems that arise through consuming
tobacco products, various social, cultural, and economic
predicaments can also be linked to this matter. Thus, the
need for tobacco cessation is now greater than ever.
Tobacco cessation must begin with proper identification
of individuals who regularly consume tobacco products,
separating them from people who are exposed to secondhand
smoke. Unfortunately, current methods of
identification have their own unique drawbacks, and they
may not always align with the other procedures of the
complete cessation model. Consequently, the need has
arisen for a unified cessation model that takes proper
identification into account as well. Gesture analysis,
along with a points-based rewards system may be the key
to solving this dilemma. This method of cessation will rely
heavily on replacing the temporary satisfaction and
gratification supplied by tobacco consumption, with a
more tangible, rewarding and wholesome form of
gratification. | en_US |
