Smokers getting paid to stop smoking

Smokers are offered £12,50 per week to stop smoking in deprived parts of the big cities in Scotland.
The organizers hope that around 900 smokers will be helped with the £500,000 pilot scheme.
Participating smokers will be offered £12.50 per week with which they can buy food in their local supermarket.
The participants will also be provided with nicotine replacement therapy through their local pharmacy.
Smokers can take part in the project for 12 weeks.
This new incentive scheme is a partnership between NHS Tayside, Dundee City Council and the Scottish Government and is launching in the autumn.

I been planning to stop smoking for while and I just wonder if money will do the trick.
And how will the participants be tested, what stops them from smoking during the project?
And what after those 12 weeks?
Smoking is a habit that is hard to break and it takes a lot of self discipline to quite.
Stating that they want to help the deprived by giving them some money for a few weeks will not do the trick I'm afraid.
Instead they should try to get jobs for those people as boredom is the biggest problem for people who want to stop smoking.
Good luck to all of you who want to stop!
