Yesterday, we featured the story of a reader who used the addictive, repetitive, endless Pokémon Pearl to replace his harmful and expensive smoking habit. We think it was a stroke of genius to pick a game that has its own addictive qualities, though we hope that he doesn't eventually end up with a debilitating addiction to Pokemans.Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

i too am a smoker for 6 years and i see myself not smoking when i play games, though i don't play games intentionally to keep myself from smoking. plus i don't smoke more than 10 cigs' a day, sometimes i don't smoke at all.

Enjoy your expensive habit.

I used Anarchy Online like methodone when I broke my Evercrack addiction five years ago. :)
And last year when I lost thirty pounds, I used gaming as a means of keeping my hands out of the pretzel bag.

I decided to start playing Pokemans again...I beat Diamond a while ago, started to play that Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team in anticipation of PMD: Explorers of Darkness/Time. So yes, my pokemans, let me show you them.

When I read yesterday's story I will admit to wishing I smoked so I could purchase a current-gen system and use it to break my habit. That would be the perfect excuse.
Parents: Why don't you have money for gas??
Me: Because I bought a 360!
Parents: @(#$U*(#)!
Me: But I don't smoke anymore!! Love me!
