Casual games help people kill their bad habits
Smokers and people suffering from overweight, note the weakening of cravings for their addictions.
Now advertising on billboards and TV declares war on bad habits and offers people various methods of dealing with them. In America, 430,700 people die every year because of diseases associated with smoking, and the tendency to obesity is fixed throughout the country, so people are starting to switch to a healthy lifestyle: rest, relax, and struggle with stress during the day.
A recent study by the Information Solutions Group on behalf of RealGames shows that casual games that are played around 200 million a month on the Internet (according to the Casual Games Association ) have a positive effect on people's habits and their lifestyle.
The most important thing about the data obtained is:
- Among 2784 respondents of the survey conducted, monitoring their weight, 59% agree that casual games really distract from frequent eating and / or overeating, which leads to a decrease in the consumption of excessive food.
- Among 1324 smoking respondents, 42% percent agree that casual games really distract from smoking, which leads to a decrease in the frequency of tobacco use.
- 28% of survey respondents, who believe that casual games distract them from food, reported using games as a means to reduce food intake.
- 42% of survey respondents who believe that casual games distract them from smoking reported that they use games as a means to reduce smoking.
- Smokers, as a rule, play casual games on weekdays after work, before going to bed, or on weekends. Usually this is the time when they have the most opportunities to take a smoke break (unlike working time).
- Games of the genre "I am looking for" are the most popular among smokers. “Little Shop of Treasures” and “Mysteryville” are the favorites in this genre.
- Survey participants overwhelmingly note that they feel “relaxation and relief from stress” after the usual break for the game during the day. Casual games are a break with health benefits!
