As New Years is fast approaching, smokers everywhere get ready for their yearly attempt at kicking the habit. Helping with that weaning process is a new electronic gadget called Nicostopper.
This MP3ish looking device locks down 10 of your favorite cigarettes and delivers those yummy cigarettes at preset intervals. When one of those cigarettes are released the screen offers self help messages to ease the process. If that doesn’t stop you from smoking at least you will have $300 less to spend on smokes after you pay for the device.

[...] Of course, a device such as Nicostopper does not stop the user asking a friend or someone else for a cigarette, nor indeed taking a full packet along in addition. The actual strength of control is fairly low. The user really must want to control his or her habit, and be determined to do so, otherwise there is no point in buying the device. Even the significant commitment shown by buying Nicostopper, and the expense of it, may help the user to take more control of the situation, and there’s also the factor that, as Uber Review puts it: If that doesn’t stop you from smoking at least you will have $300 less to spend on smokes after you pay for the device.
