Ubisoft has announced a video game for the Nintendo DS that claims to help smokers quit their health-damaging habit.

Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking is being developed for the DS and is based on Carr’s best-selling book of the same name, which is on sale across 50 countries.

Self-help guru Carr has, according to Ubisoft, helped over 10 million smokers worldwide.

In the game, players will input details of their smoking habit and a coach will then take them through the process of quitting.

Ubisoft said the title has been “developed in conjunction with Allen CarrÂ’s top experts” and that it “echoes the philosophy of Allen CarrÂ’s Easyway method, enabling players to be entertained, challenged and to stop smoking at the same time”.

Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking will be released this November.
