(PRWEB) January 28, 2005 -- A Connecticut company has introduced a new tool that helps smokers beat their addictions to nicotine. Brady Development, Inc., of Avon, CT, reports that smokers can alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal with a systematic, gradual weaning of the addiction.

The tool, called the 'Linkman, fits on the smokers key chain, and is meant to be queried whenever its user desires a cigarette. The company reports that by using this 'habit reversal tool, a typical user can quit smoking without pain in 6 months.

The tool is small and discreet, designed to look somewhat like a cigarette for a placebo effect. On one end is the key chain, and on the other end there is a recessed button. When the urge to smoke arrives, the user double-clicks the button, which then lights up like the 'cherry of a cigarette. If the smoker hasnt waited quite long enough, the button blinks red; however, if the user has indeed satisfied the current waiting requirement, the button lights solid green before self-extinguishing. In the latter case, the user may smoke an actual cigarette, and the cycle is repeated with a slightly longer waiting period.

It was the only way for me to quit," inventor J. B. Snyder says. I had tried everything. Nicotine gum kept me addicted to nicotine, and 'cold turkey had me irritable even after 10 months. I was impossible to be around, so I started smoking again. Not so with the Linkman."

Made in the U.S.A. and patent-pending, the Linkman can only be purchased on the World Wide Web at http://www.linkman.com. Price: $80. For more information, contact Brady Development, Inc. at PO Box 1465, Avon, CT 06001. Email info@linkman.com.
