Tech is good for you: Quit smoking with ludicrous gadgets

QuitKey
If the NicoStopper cigarette vault is just too ridiculous, you may want to consider the QuitKey. It's a sort of Tamagotchi-style device, but instead of prolonging the life of a virtual cat or dog, it's your own life that's on the line.

The device works by allowing you to smoke as often as you want to, with the proviso that you tell it when you're doing so. It then uses this information to form your personal quit plan, informing you via a series of beeps when it's okay for you to inhale death. It lets you smoke less and less each day -- the idea being that you'll give up entirely after about a month.

It's yours from Amazon for about $60 (£30).
