Will a software agent approach to delivering tailored smoking increase effectiveness over current tailoring systems?

H1: The agent system will be closer to interpersonal communication than standard tailoring systems across the dimensions of interactivity, social presence, and message relavance.

H2: Because the agent system is closer to interpersonal communication, it will be more effective than a standard tailoring system in helping smokers to quit.
