"I am a Department Manager at Wal-Mart and every morning Wal-Mart has a morning meeting. We have put the Wii Fitness to the test to see if it works. One of our Assistant Managers has been using it faithfully for, I believe, 2 months (at least 1 month), and she has lost weight in doing so. Before the Wii she did not exercise, and she smoked. She stopped smoking and has been faithful to the Wii Fit. She is raving about the Wii Fit and and seems more energetic."

At no point does it say that it helped her stop smoking

I only read a little bit of it but I just don't see people waking up in the morning to work out on a video game. There is a motivation for kids because it's a video game and all but I just don't think it's too interesting. Thats my opinion but I am happy for that Walmart manager

Edit: Fitness does in fact help people cope with their smoking habits. I know for a fact that my dad has cut down a lot on smoking just because he is more fit and is starting a good diet. We bought a Bowflex machine and he set it up. We are now working out daily and it is actually quite fun
