Smokers seem to have turned into the pariah of society in recent years to the point where they are hounded out from in front of buildings and, in some cases, even prevented from indulging their habit inside the house they own. Let's face it, given the price of a packet of fags today, if you haven't thought about giving it up by now you might have to search for better motivation to stop. Now, I'm not suggesting that 3D quit will do anything substantial to slow down your smoking habit but this pure entertainment app for iOS and Android might keep you amused for a bit and give you other things to do with your packet of Marlboro.
 
3Dquit offers something else for you to do with your cigarette packet when you nip off for that smoko later on today. This fun and entertaining app, designed for both high-end mobiles and tablets, aims to get you playing rather than smoking in this healthier and funnier alternative for your cigarette packet.  You can use the application to watch several pop-up 3D animations that magically appear on the most popular tobacco packages. With the app in early days you can only use it on a packet of Marlboro right now but more are being added with Camel being the next cab off the rank. It's pretty simple to use. After you have downloaded the app you just have to point your device's camera at the logo of the chosen tobacco package from the activated brands. This is where the fun starts and your 3D augmented reality animations. When you tap the "stop-smoking" button, the 3D animation becomes more active. When you tap the "start-smoking" button, the 3D animation becomes less active. Each activated tobacco brand has a different animation, discover them all! Every month more brands will be added with different animations.
 
I guess the bottom line here is that when your hands are occupied while playing with your 3D animated cigarette packet the chances are that you aren't smoking at the same time so I guess technically 3D quit could be considered good for your health but it's probably stretching it a bit. However, the animations look pretty cool - my Marlboro man sits proudly atop my packet of smokes and I can wait to see the camel appear next time. 3D quit is a harmless piece of fun that's pretty easy to use and, while hardly being the thing that guarantees to break the ice at parties, it should keep you amused for a while.
