Stop smoking with Nintendo?
Saturday, May 31st, 2008 by Jo
If you were trying to stop smoking, would you turn to Nintendo for help? No? Well now, if you wanted to, you could.
It’s goodbye NHS, hello NDS as Nintendo DS will soon have up to 15 games to keep those nicotine cravings at bay. The games will be based on the battling addiction books by Allen Carr and will be set in environments where smokers find it hardest to resist the tab temptation, like pubs and clubs.
By entering details about your habit, your ‘personal coach’ will guide you through the quitting process. It will suggest treats to reward yourself with when you’ve had a good day and when you are finally free, you can even find out how much better life can be by measuring elements from your smoke-free lifestyle, such as walking up a flight of stairs without a lung collapsing.
It all sounds a bit strange to me and we’ll all have to wait until November for it to be released…and to find out whether it actually works.
