Thanks for asking! The SHO and others are clients of V-CC Systems Inc, the SSC, on the other hand is a way for V-CC Systems Inc. to test out new healthcare technologies and new enhancements such as those new features (You Tube Videos, Instant Messenger, Achievements Rewards) and those up and coming features (Blogs).
The SSC is a research-based program that is continuously monitored, studied and analyzed. The data from the program is presented at medical conferences around the world. At no cost to the quitter, the SSC welcomes all and promotes healthy discussion of all clinically proven ways to quit smoking.
There are quite a number of smoking cessation programs on the Internet that are fee-based. These services cost approximately between US$40 for a three month membership, or US$100 for a one year membership. The SSC has 10 lucky members that get to sign up for "free" every day!
It is important for members to note that the SSC is a free service and that moderators, technical staff and all other company employees are not volunteers and are paid salaries.
We hope this answers your question and please feel free to contact us via feedback if you have any other concerns.
