Stimulus program provides BlackBerry smartphones to help smokers quit

This has to be the most ridiculous BlackBerry story we've heard. It appears that Washington D.C. is using stimulus money, provided by tax payers, to give smokers a BlackBerry to help them quit smoking. What?! The program is run by the American Legacy Foundation. The smokers would use the BlackBerry smartphones to gain 24/7 text support and help connect with others trying to quit. As John McEnroe would say, "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!"
