New DS game to help people quit smoking

Nintendo has come out with a game set that can supposedly help people to quit smoking. The weird game is based on books written by anti-smoking guru Allen Carr, and video game maker Ubisoft is developing a title to coach smokers away from cigarettes.

There are apparently 15 anti-smoking games to choose from, including one set in a disco where a cigarette-shaped monster tries to pull the gamer outside for a smoke. To save themselves, players must draw lines to connect themselves to fellow virtual dancers. How effective the games will be remains to be seen. But hey, it just might work!
