Thank you for informing me of this! I didnt know this! Sounds like an ingenious idea.

I think no game can stop one from not smoking. Smoking is a habbit that can be prevented only by the strong will of the smoker. Or maybe heavy health problems.

Anyway, we'll see how it will turn out. It might be helpful to some.

It's worth a try but I know that I've had some great games that kept my mind so occupied that I lost track for hours and hours. But of course, smoking is an addiction....
could a game get rid of smoking all together? It makes me wonder...
