MC Frontalot shows "How to GM Your Own Habit Abatement Campaign"
It's a system to quit smoking with D&D!
Rules include:
"1. Name your character. Mine's Breathorr Inflatagon, a level 2 Lung Elf. You don't have to roll up stats. If you're a real stickler for form, go get your lungs x-rayed. The x-ray film is your character sheet."
Give a nerd five minutes, and he'll turn anything into an RPG.

This Man in Pretty Fucking Pissed at Obama
He pretty much gets his point across with his opening throat clearing.

Smoking in Beijing
This nation is definitely part of the modern age, fully fit to host the olympics! Check this out.
And here are my three favorite paragraphs.
"Health care workers are not exactly the best role models: more than half of all Chinese medical professionals smoke, and a 2004 government survey of 3,600 doctors found that 30 percent did not know that smoking could lead to heart disease and circulation problems. (Unlike cigarettes in much of the world, Chinese brands carry no health warning on labels, although that is scheduled to change in 2011.)
Smoking with one hand and wielding a pair of chopsticks with the other, Li Na, 26, a secretary, was unapologetic as her 2-year-old son sat next to her at a restaurant here enveloped in a bluish haze. “If you overprotect your children, they don’t build their immunity,” she explained. “Breathing a little smoke when they are small makes them stronger.”
At wedding parties, the bride often passes out Double Happiness brand cigarettes to guests, a tradition meant to enhance her fertility. Mourners at Chinese funerals are generously plied with smokes, and a handful burned at the grave site is meant to satisfy the craving of the deceased."
Italics are my own.
