The participants will beneficiate of tailored information received in letters generated by using sophisticated computer algorithms, allowing the creation of highly individualized messages that address each individual's unique needs, motivations and beliefs related to smoking .

1. ''diagnosis'' by means of questionnaires at the individual level of characteristics that are relevant for a person's smoking behavior
2. development of the ''message library'' that contains all education messages that may be needed

4. generating of personalized letters for each participant
5. sending of theses personalized letters to the participants. The participants will receive three personalized letters during a period of six months after registration into the program.

The effects of the program will be evaluated with a randomized controlled trial which will assess the changes in smoking behaviour as well as smoking related attitudes, self-efficacy and quiting attempts at 6 months after the enrolment into the program.

A process evaluation will assess participants' opinion about the program.
