Text service to help smokers quit

In a recent BBC article - 'Text service to help smokers quit':

"Smokers who call the NHS Smoking Helpline will be offered the 'Together' programme as an alternative to the more traditional services.

After registering a date by which they intend to quit, they will receive a series of supportive direct mail packs, text messages and call backs as they reach the key stages of the giving up process."

Will this lesson the strain on the NHS I wonder??!
