There is a new stimulus program that the folks in Washington, DC
have started up for smokers who are trying to kick the habit. If
you\'re trying to quit smoking, there is a new program set to cost
$977,346 that will provide smokers with BlackBerry Smartphones
for free to help them quit. The American Legacy Foundation is
running this new stimulus program in which smokers will have a
24/7 line to get support while trying to quit via their free
Blackberry smartphone.

Apparently smokers will have access to text support as well as
the ability to connect with other smokers who are trying to quit.
There will also be other options in case of a relapse, but there
is no report that shows the specifics. It is also unclear what
type of plan these Blackberry smartphones will come with and who
the carrier will be.
