Syracuse (WSYR-TV) -- Are you having a hard time quitting smoking? You might want to try downloading QuitPal, a new app from the National Cancer Institute.

It helps you track the money you’re saving and connects you with social media networks, so friends can help you stay on track.

It will even send you encouraging texts, which can double your likelihood of quitting, according to a study in The Lancet.
