Ubisoft, a California-based company, has announced plans to release an interactive computer game that will help smokers quit, AFP reported May 30.

The Nintendo DS game will hit stores in November and will be based on "Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking." Ubisoft's other products include a game that helps users lose weight or learn a foreign language.

Players of the stop-smoking game will enter their personal smoking history, details on smoking habits, and choose a coach to help them quit. They will progress through 15 mini games along the path to quitting.

"The player experiences a truly interactive engagement with the game, through which he or she learns that it can actually be enjoyable to quit smoking," said Christian Salomon of Ubisoft.
