Ubisoft to Publish Smoking Cessation Game for DS

According to our friends at Kotaku, Ubisoft is bringing a videogame version of Allen Carr's popular Easy Way to Stop Smoking book/method to Nintendo DS this fall.
The press release says very little about the game, and really very little in general, but clearly they are borrowing a page from Nintendo, who brought Dr. Ryuta Kawashima's book Train Your Brain: 60 Days to a Better Brain to the DS as the popular title Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!
