Tech is good for you: Quit smoking with ludicrous gadgets

Nobody likes smokers. Once they were trendy, twiddling their cigarettes with disdain, force-feeding innocent bystanders with carcinogenic death, but now look at them: since the public smoking ban of 1 July these outcasts are forced to huddle in urine-soaked alleyways with only rats, rain and respiratory illness for company.

But if you're a smoker there's no need to suffer alone. And there's no need to cover yourself in silly patches, either. Crave has been busy trawling the Internet for gadgets -- machines with batteries -- that can help you wean yourself off cancer sticks.

We've got silly coughing ashtrays, nannying permission givers, special vaporisers and even portable fag vaults that only give you cigarettes when you've been good.
