I have decided that my channel up to this point was a waste of time. Sure you can see cool glitches, tricks, speedruns, and TASes…but what does that DO for anyone? How does that make the world a better place? Instead of continuing these foolish antics I have decided to help solve one of first world’s biggest problems: nicotine addiction. The result is this TAS of this little-known game: My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr’s EasyWay for the Nintendo DS. Unlike other methods to quit smoking, this game has a unique blend of important lessons and mind-numbing minigames. By watching this TAS you’ll learn many great lessons. For instance, smoking is antisocial. This is made clearer by the fact that lines drawn between people on a dance floor last a few frames less every time you go out to smoke. You’ll also see, by virtue of playing Connect Three with “The Nicotine Monster”, that it isn’t as hard to quit smoking as you might think.

Everyone needs some encouragement and this video can help you keep moving in the right direction.
These clips are from the BBC: Horizon documentary series entitled “We Love Cigarettes”. The advice Allen Carr gives is pretty damn good, it convinced me (a 5 year smoker) to quit cold turkey. It has been a couple months now and I’m still going strong. Update: It has been over one year since my last cigarette and I have never been tempted to look back. I really hope this simple advice has helped someone else.
