Quitting smoking is one of the hardest bad habits to kick.  But one ex-tobacco smoker/gamer found out that this particular addiction can easily be substituted for another.  Nicotine patches?  Unsexy.  Nicotine gum?  Lame.  12 step programs?  Boring.  Pokemon Pearl!?  Now that's a sensible solution. 

Apparently the secret is to play Pokemon whenever you get a craving to smoke.  The compulsion to catch 'em all is just as compelling as a lung full of carcinogens.  Next, we'll find out if Pikachu and company can also help kick your porn addiction...

I'm sure they already have Pokemon porn, so it's not going to kick that habit. Now if they could create a game that would help people not commit suicide...hmm
