Smoking Cessation Programs:
Billboards, TV ads and other campaigns
seemingly bombard consumers throughout the year, calling out
bad habits and suggesting various methods by which to quit.
With smoking-related diseases claiming an estimated 430,700
American lives each year (American Cancer Society), and an
ongoing nationwide fixation on weight-loss and obesity,
consumers are beginning to ignore the fads and turning to
healthier habits as a method for relaxation, distraction and
stress-relief throughout their day.
A recent survey commissioned by RealGames™, the Games Division of RealNetworks®, Inc., suggests that casual games - played online by about 200 million each month according to the Casual Games Association - are positively affecting consumer habits and lifestyle choices.
The findings are telling:Out of the 1,324 smokers in this survey, 42 percent agree that playing casual games provides a positive distraction and as a result reduces their likeliness to smoke. While sitting and playing a game is one option - imagine the myriad of benefits of connecting balance, oxygen-rich exercise and whole body movement to that game play.
42 percent of those who feel that playing casual games
distracts them from smoking have used their game play as a
means of reducing their smoking. Get your soon-to-be-non-smoker
