Quit Smoking with “My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr”
With video games to help you lose weight and learn languages, it was only a matter of time before a game came around that helped you to quit smoking.
My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr is now available for Nintendo DS, developed by Ubisoft.
The game came out last fall, and has received two very different product reviews on Amazon.com. One of them was more kind than the other, with the user actually playing the game as intended. Each time they felt the urge to smoke, they played the game. The other, I think, didn’t quite understand the premise of the game, and played through the entirety of it in one sitting. It’s a short game, but it’s meant to give you encouragement each day, every time you feel the urge to smoke.
